## About

Based in Heidelberg, Germany, and founded in 2017 by CEO Felipe Huici, CPO Alexander Jung, and CTO Simon Kuenzer, Unikraft GmbH operates as a cloud-based company providing support in deployment on cloud servers and securing client’s software to improve and optimize its tools and existing pipelines. The company was incorporated with NEC Laboratories Europe's technology spin-off incubation and acceleration program. In October 2025, Unikraft GmbH raised USD 6 million in seed funding led by new investor Heavybit, with participation from other new investors Vercel Inc. and Firestreak Ventures. Returning investors First Momentum Ventures, Fly Ventures, Mango Capital, and individual investors also participated in the round.

Unikraft GmbH provides cloud services that leverage the outputs from existing pipelines, which include binary artifacts, OCI images, Nix packages, and more. The company’s cloud integrates with client’s registries, images, and tools to optimize the underlying stack, leaving the customer's app and workload unchanged.  In addition, the firm analyses and develops customized images for client’s applications. Unikraft GmbH technology integrates by connecting to existing clusters and orchestration frameworks for deployments and building secure and performant apps. As of 2023, the company serves industries such as cloud computing, application development, web development, IT security, and cybersecurity. 

The company will use the October 2025 funding to improve its scale and reduce costs in cloud computing for AI workloads.
