Spectro Cloud wants to ease AI infrastructure management after raising $100M in funding

Kubernetes software startup Spectro Cloud Inc. has bagged $100 million in a late-stage funding round as it looks to solve a significant and growing problem in artificial intelligence.

Powerful processors might be hard to come by, but they are available at a price. However, what’s really lacking is the software needed to squeeze the most value out of those chips.

Spectro Cloud, founded by Chief Executive Tenry Fu and Chief Technology Officer Saad Malik in 2019, sells a software platform that helps organizations to deploy, govern and operate AI infrastructure at scale, across data centers, edge locations and on-premises.

Today’s oversubscribed Series D round was led by Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives and saw participation from AMD Ventures, Ericsson, LG Technology Ventures and Maximus. It brings Spectro’s total amount raised to date to over $260 million.
