Industry Mainstay

Amberflo is a verifiable, high-potential Series A company ($20M verified funding) building critical cloud metering infrastructure. However, the project submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product') and lazy data. The high score reflects the reality of the business (ex-AWS team, strong market fit, confirmed traction) rather than the submission quality, which was heavily penalized.

Description
Amberflo is built by a team of ex-AWS cloud engineers and service owners that came together after seeing the challenges that companies face in managing and operating cloud applications and services that are usage-based. We were fortunate to have a front-row seat during the early days of the cloud and the beginnings of the consumption based business models and are passionate about the shift to consumption and usage-based. \n\nWhen business models shift, infrastructure tools must shift accordingly. \n\nAmberflo is designed from the ground up as a developer friendly software platform that first tackles accurate metering (measurement of any cloud or application resource) at scale, providing a system of record of usage and consumption data on which downstream applications (such as billing, etc.) can reside.\n
