StratusGrid, a developer of an AI-driven cloud infrastructure optimization platform based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, has raised $3 million in a Seed round. The round was announced in June 2026. The company also keeps offices in Seattle, Birmingham, Madrid, and Bogota.

StratusGrid is led by CEO Chris Hurst and CPO Jeremy Scardino. Its product, Stratusphere, is a multi-agent cloud automation solution built to coordinate specialized AI agents. These agents continuously discover cost-saving opportunities, simulate the blast radius of changes under strict organizational policies, and safely execute infrastructure updates across AWS and Azure environments.

The company says the new funding will accelerate development of Stratusphere, expand its product and engineering capabilities, and scale go-to-market efforts aimed at private equity-backed software companies and enterprises running large AWS and Azure environments.

StratusGrid says it bootstrapped its way to financial stability, saved millions of dollars for high-growth corporate enterprises, and processed autonomous operational changes backed by instant fallback safety guardrails and board-grade executive dashboard tracking.
