Toronto-based Deskree, a no-code cloud infrastructure tool, has secured €1.4 million in a seed round of funding. The investment saw participation from several investors, including Czech ZAKA VC, Ukrainian VC funds Flyer One Ventures, and Vesna Capital, Siliconcanals informed.

  • Deskre.e was founded by Dmytro Grechko in 2021 as an internal project of Deskree Studio, aiming to address the struggles in finding a cost-effective and efficient solution for backend infrastructure. The platform can simplify backend infrastructure creation by eliminating the need for expensive DevOps and cloud architect specialists. 
  • Deskree is available for both SMEs and large corporations. The number of Deskree users has grown from 300 to 10,000 developers worldwide over the last year. Most of them are based in North & South America. 

“Our client created a backend for a platform in 4 days instead of the four months he originally planned. It was a global industrial cleaning supply company that budgeted $40,000 on that; it spent just $400. We then scaled the project from 100 API requests per hour to 1.5 billion requests.”

Dmytro Grechko, the founder shares Deskree’s story.
