- Stakpak secured $500K pre-seed funding to scale its AI-powered IDE that transforms weeks of DevOps work into hours of simplified processes.
- Early adopters report 5x faster project delivery and 16x quicker migrations, offering six to seven-figure cost savings for large engineering teams.
- Funding will expand operations in the US while growing engineering teams in Egypt, emphasizing the platform’s global market potential.
Stakpak, Inc. has successfully closed a $500,000 pre-seed funding round to accelerate the development of its groundbreaking AI-powered infrastructure platform. The investment was led by P1 Ventures with participation from Digital Currency Group, 500 Sanabil, and prominent angel investors.
Among the notable angel investors are Moataz Soliman and Omar Gabr, co-founders of the AI-powered observability platform Instabug. This strategic investment marks a significant milestone for the emerging tech company.
The newly acquired capital will primarily fuel Stakpak’s expansion efforts in the United States, focusing on business operations and market growth. Additionally, the funding will strengthen the company’s engineering and product teams in Egypt.
Stakpak addresses a critical issue in software development—the overwhelming complexity and inefficiency of DevOps processes. In the U.S. alone, this problem represents a staggering $51 billion inefficiency that drags down engineering productivity.
The company’s innovative solution comes in the form of an AI-powered Integrated Development Environment (IDE) specifically designed for software infrastructure. This platform dramatically reduces the time required to build production-ready infrastructure.
What once took weeks now takes mere hours, thanks to Stakpak’s autonomous AI agents. This transformation allows engineers to focus on building products rather than wrestling with infrastructure complications.
Early adopters have already experienced remarkable results. Companies using Stakpak’s platform have delivered projects five times faster than before. Even more impressively, migration tasks that previously consumed substantial time are now completed 16 times faster.
These efficiency gains come without requiring specialized DevOps expertise, making advanced infrastructure management accessible to more development teams. For larger engineering organizations with over 100 full-time employees, the cost savings can reach six to seven figures.
Mikael Hajjar, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at P1 Ventures, expressed enthusiasm about the investment: “We’ve been impressed by George’s vision for Stakpak and inspired by the quality of his product and his relentless speed of execution, despite the limited resources.”
Hajjar further highlighted the founder’s unique positioning: “We believe his domain expertise as an early engineer in the US, Europe, and the Middle East uniquely positions him to build a global business.”
George Fahmy, CEO and founder of Stakpak, Inc., emphasized the significance of securing backing from innovative regional investors while building a globally competitive product with team members from Egypt and Africa.
“Businesses underestimate the impact LLMs could have on software infrastructure because infrastructure failures can negatively impact your revenue stream,” Fahmy noted. He highlighted the company’s achievements in 2024, building “the most reliable code generation for infrastructure as code like Terraform and OpenTofu.”
Looking ahead, Fahmy announced plans for 2025: “This year we’re launching the most reliable AI Agent for DevOps work, unlocking massive value for software businesses globally.”
The Stakpak platform, along with an early version of its agent, is currently available at stakpak.dev. Early customers have provided enthusiastic testimonials about the platform’s impact on their operations.
Rami Elsawy, CTO of CheckFirst AI, shared his team’s experience: “As a team of developers with limited experience in DevOps, we were blown away by how Stakpak helped us streamline our infrastructure setup.”
Similarly, Maged Shalaby, Head of Engineering at Preventia, offered a straightforward assessment: “AWS is now 100 times easier. I wish we had this 3 years ago.”
As software development continues to grow in complexity, Stakpak’s AI-driven approach offers a promising solution to a widespread industry challenge, potentially saving companies significant time and resources while improving overall development efficiency.
