Our take
As the price of cloud computing continues to rise, many businesses are paring back their budget to focus on 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. There is now an opportunity for startups to create their own innovative cloud solutions to meet the ever-evolving needs of organisations.
Leveraging this market opportunity is Vantage, a New York City startup helping businesses better understand their cloud infrastructure spending. Born out of the idea of building a better AWS dashboard, Vantage now supports users across multiple service providers, allowing them to track and save their cloud costs in one place.
Vantage has seen an influx of large enterprise users, along with the success of a 2023 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 grow its name even further with a series of product launches in 2023.
