Our take
As the price of cloud computing continues to rise, many businesses are paring back on their budget towards cloud infrastructures which in turn has slowed the growth of many cloud-computing companies. However, we are now in the cloud era, and demand for its services is higher than ever which has created an opening for startups to create their own innovative solutions to meet the ever-evolving needs of organizations.
Leveraging this opportunity in the market is Vantage, a New York City startup that is helping businesses better understand their cloud infrastructure spending. Born out of the idea to build a better AWS dashboard, Vantage now supports users on a number of service providers, allowing them to track and save their cloud costs all in one place.
Vantage has seen a recent influx of large enterprise users, along with the success of a recent funding round, laying the foundations for a better service for its growing customer base. Viewing the growth of its customer base as a challenge, Vantage is looking to step things up and plans to capitalize on this opportunity to grow its name even further with a series of product launches in 2023.
