Led by H.I.G. Growth Partners, the Growth Investment enables ProsperOps to accelerate the adoption of its AI-Based FinOps platform for enterprises that seek to reduce costs and unlock maximum value from the cloud
ProsperOps, the autonomous cloud cost optimization platform, has announced a $72 million investment led by H.I.G. Growth Partners (“H.I.G.”) and other strategic investors. ProsperOps delivers best-in-class return on investment on cloud spend, unlocking maximum value and savings outcomes for companies building in the cloud. The investment enables ProsperOps to further scale its platform capabilities, engineering, and go-to-market teams, as well as expand from Amazon Web Services (AWS) to additional cloud providers.
According to the FinOps Foundation’s “2023 State of FinOps” report, the top FinOps challenge cited is getting engineers to take on the task of reducing cloud spend, while up to one-third of cloud spend is estimated to be waste. ProsperOps removes the burden on developers by autonomously managing Savings Plans and Reserved Instances across compute services such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Fargate, and Lambda. FinOps and finance teams further benefit with clear ROI, showback, and savings performance benchmarks.

ProsperOps only makes money when customers save money with its “savings as a service” model based on the cloud cost savings generated by the platform. On average, ProsperOps customers achieve a savings of 40%.
