Ubicloud: Funding Rounds, Investors & Leadership

About Ubicloud

Ubicloud gives software teams cloud computing, databases and networking they can run themselves or buy as a managed service. Its open-source system runs on physical servers from Hetzner, Leaseweb and AWS. It offers virtual computers, data storage and private networks. Other services include managed PostgreSQL databases and Kubernetes, which manages application containers. GitHub Actions users can get a fresh isolated virtual machine for each software test or automation job.

Ubicloud was founded in 2023 and is based in San Francisco. Y Combinator lists a 15-person team. Umur Cubukcu and Ozgun Erdogan are founders, while Daniel Farina is founder and chief technology officer. Ubicloud bills managed resources by the minute and invoices monthly. A two-core virtual machine costs $41.89 per month, versus $90 on AWS Germany in its comparison. Managed PostgreSQL costs $78.15 per month, versus $200 in the same comparison.

Why Investors Backed Ubicloud

Ubicloud sells open-source cloud software and managed infrastructure. Its pitch combines lower prices with independence from a single cloud vendor. The managed service charges for computing, databases and software-build machines. Investors are backing founders with prior cloud and database experience.

The problem it targets

Before a new virtual machine is useful, a team may need to install software, deploy an application and set up monitoring. Repeating those steps can slow launches and leave machines configured differently. Ubicloud argues that public clouds create another problem: closed software, expensive computer rentals and vendor lock-in. It targets teams seeking cloud convenience with more control over where their workloads run.

What the product does

Ubicloud places each virtual machine in a private network with private internet addresses. It provides encrypted storage and network load balancing. It also includes firewall rules and role-based access controls. Managed PostgreSQL adds automatic backups and recovery to a chosen time. Machine images became available on August 12, 2026. They capture a configured disk and can create new machines through the console, command line or programming interface.

Progress so far

Felt's chief technology officer reported similar software-build functions on newer processors at a lower cost. Hatchet's founder said the service removed storage bottlenecks and was saving $300,000 annually, with $500,000 projected after more workloads move. AudienceKey's chief technology officer cited lower AWS costs, stronger database performance and simpler migration. These accounts cover software builds, database workloads and data processing.

Who backs it

ScaleX highlights Ozgun Erdogan and Umur Cubukcu's work building Citus Data, which Microsoft acquired in 2019. It also points to Daniel Farina's work on Heroku Postgres. ScaleX invested from Fund I in the first quarter of 2024. e2VC includes Ubicloud among its portfolio companies, while Y Combinator places it in the Winter 2024 batch.
