CloudZero Secures $56M to Tackle AI-Era Cloud Cost Challenges

CloudZero has raised $56 million in Series C funding to help businesses navigate with the soaring costs of running modern infrastructure with better financial control over their cloud environments.

Led by BlueCrest Capital Management and Innovius Capital, the funding round also gathered support from Matrix Partners, Threshold Ventures, Underscore VC, G20 Ventures, and a strategic investment from MongoDB. The new capital will fund research and development focused on AI-driven cost analytics, expand CloudZero’s partner ecosystem, and deepen its go-to-market efforts.

CloudZero’s platform addresses a growing need: bridging the gap between engineering decisions and financial impact. With cloud spending projected to reach $2 trillion by 2030, organizations are under pressure to optimize usage without slowing down innovation. AI workloads only add to the complexity, introducing dynamic resource demands and increasing the risk of cost overruns.

By delivering visibility into unit economics and connecting infrastructure spend to business outcomes, CloudZero helps engineering and finance teams align on how to scale efficiently. The platform supports forecasting, cost attribution, and automation—enabling companies to manage AI infrastructure costs in real time, rather than reacting after budgets are blown.

The funding will also support expanded integrations across developer tools and financial systems, allowing teams to embed cost intelligence into everyday workflows. As FinOps matures, the focus is shifting from basic cost-cutting to achieving long-term cloud business efficiency—and CloudZero is positioning itself as a key enabler of that transition. With customers already including Coinbase, Expedia, and Moody’s, the company is now doubling down on helping enterprises balance growth with sustainable cloud economics in an increasingly AI-driven future.
