Cycloid, a Paris-based sustainable engineering platform provider, has successfully raised €5 million in a Series A funding round.
The investment, led by Reflexion Capital with support from five French angel investors, marks a significant step in the company’s growth trajectory.
With this new funding, Cycloid aims to strengthen its presence across Europe and make strategic inroads into the North American market. The expansion aligns with the company’s mission to promote sustainable digital practices by optimizing IT resource utilization and reducing environmental impact.
Founded in 2015 by Benjamin Brial, Cycloid is dedicated to fostering digital sobriety—both financially and environmentally—through its innovative platform. The company provides organizations with a self-service portal that streamlines platform engineering practices, easing the cognitive burden on IT teams. By enabling reusable developer self-service flows, Cycloid simplifies complex DevOps processes, allowing teams to focus on innovation rather than operational overhead.
One of Cycloid’s standout features is its ability to bridge the gap between DevOps and cloud automation tools, making them more accessible to non-technical users. Additionally, the platform integrates FinOps and GreenOps methodologies, ensuring that cloud resources are managed efficiently to minimize both costs and carbon footprints.
Cycloid’s solution includes embedded tools that provide real-time insights into cloud expenditure and environmental impact. By offering a comprehensive view of cloud consumption across multiple environments, the platform empowers businesses to make data-driven decisions that align with both financial and sustainability goals.
As the demand for responsible cloud management continues to grow, Cycloid’s latest funding round positions the company as a leader in sustainable digital transformation. With plans for international expansion, Cycloid is set to revolutionize how organizations approach platform engineering, resource efficiency, and environmental responsibility in the cloud era.
