🚨I'm beyond ecstatic to announce that we've raised $6M in seed funding to launch Unikraft Cloud -- the only platform that can start *any* workload in < 10ms and scale to 100K+ instances on a single server with instantaneous scale to zero...think catering to millions of users on a few servers instead of an entire data center. All of with strong, hardware-level isolation of course! 🔥

A huge shut out to our amazing investors @heavybit @vercel Ventures, Mango Capital, @Firestreakvc , @FlyVC and @_firstmomentum for believing that a group of tech geeks could build a fundamentally different and exponentially better cloud platform -- that dream and vision is now reality. 🙏

To my co-founders @nderjung and @s_kuenzer , an immense pleasure to be sharing this amazing adventure with you, and now the sky's the limit! 🚀

Oh, and if you're unhappy with and disillusioned with the way the cloud works, here's a message of hope: there's better out there, come check us out!
