Mantas has emerged from stealth after raising $1.77 million to scale its platform focused on detecting, managing, and mitigating cloud service outages for enterprises.

Cloud infrastructure startup Mantas has exited stealth mode after raising $1.77 million in funding, as enterprises continue to grapple with the operational and financial impact of cloud service outages. The capital will be used to advance the company’s platform, which focuses on identifying, monitoring, and responding to outages across complex cloud environments.

Cloud reliability has become a growing concern as organisations migrate mission critical workloads to public and hybrid cloud infrastructure. According to Gartner, global end user spending on public cloud services is expected to exceed $600 billion annually, increasing exposure to downtime risks as dependency on cloud providers deepens. High profile outages affecting major cloud platforms in recent years have underscored the need for tools that provide greater visibility and faster incident response.

Mantas is positioning its technology within this reliability and observability layer, an area that has attracted sustained investment as enterprises seek to minimise downtime and service disruptions. Research from Uptime Institute shows that a significant share of data centre and cloud outages result in financial losses exceeding $100,000 per incident, reinforcing the commercial demand for preventative and diagnostic solutions.

The funding round comes amid broader momentum in cloud infrastructure tooling. Companies operating in adjacent segments, such as Datadog, which reported $2.1 billion in revenue for 2023 according to its investor filings, and PagerDuty, which focuses on incident response automation, demonstrate how reliability focused platforms have scaled alongside enterprise cloud adoption. These benchmarks highlight the market opportunity for startups addressing operational resilience rather than core compute services.

Cloud outages also present regulatory and contractual challenges for enterprises operating in highly regulated sectors. The World Economic Forum has highlighted operational resilience and continuity planning as priorities for organisations increasingly reliant on digital infrastructure. As cloud environments grow more complex, tooling that can provide real time diagnostics and actionable insights is becoming an essential part of enterprise IT stacks.

With the $1.77 million funding and its public launch, Mantas enters a critical phase focused on customer acquisition, platform refinement, and integration with existing cloud and DevOps workflows. As cloud spending continues to rise and service reliability becomes a board level concern, demand for technologies that reduce downtime exposure is expected to remain strong.

Mantas’ exit from stealth reflects a broader trend of infrastructure focused startups emerging to address the hidden operational costs of cloud adoption, positioning the company within a fast evolving segment of the enterprise technology market.
