StackGen (formerly appCD, see Pulse 2.0 profile here), a generative infrastructure from code company, announced it has raised $12.3 million in seed funding and appointed Arshad Sayyad as Chief Business Officer. This funding round was led by Thomvest Ventures, with existing investors FireBolt Ventures, WestWave Capital, and Secure Octane participating. And StackGen will utilize the funding to accelerate product development, enhance its go-to-market strategy, and fuel company growth.
This rebranding to StackGen reflects the company’s commitment to provide comprehensive infrastructure solutions that span the entire technology stack. And StackGen has expanded its leadership and go-to-market team with the appointment of Arshad Sayyad (former President of Fidelity Investments India and Managing Director at Accenture), Danielle Cook (CNCF Ambassador and former Fairwinds and Ondata), and Lauren Rother (former HashiCorp).
StackGen launched its Dev Edition in March and it has already seen significant traction, with developers rapidly signing up to utilize its cutting-edge solutions. And this early success underscores the growing demand for innovative infrastructure from code technologies and sets the stage for continued growth and market penetration.
