Netherlands-based ElasticScale, a company that powers SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) growth, has raised €300K in non-dilutive funding. The investment came through a Rabobank Innovation loan and support from the Friese Ontwikkelmaatschappij (FOM).
The company focuses on simplifying cloud infrastructure for SaaS providers and development teams. Its core offering, ES Foundation, is a platform built to optimise the use of AWS by integrating security, scalability, and operational efficiency.
ElasticScale plans to use the funds to continue platform development and grow its customer base.
Announcing the development via a LinkedIn post, Founder Alex Jeensma says, “In our journey with ElasticScale, it’s become increasingly clear how much SaaS leaders and their dev teams relate to the problems we address: Infrastructure that’s too complex, too costly, and too distracting.”
“That’s why we’re helping our customers to get the most out of AWS and are landing all our best practices in ES Foundation — a plug-and-play platform that combines security, scalability and simplicity. So you can focus on product and growth.”
Helping SaaS companies manage cloud infrastructure
ElasticScale was founded by Alex Jeensma, a three-time CTO who has experience scaling companies from the ground up. The company addresses challenges SaaS leaders face with cloud infrastructure that struggles to keep up with product growth.
The Dutch company provides a platform designed to help SaaS scale-ups operate AWS infrastructure without dedicated DevOps teams.
Alongside the platform, ElasticScale offers support from certified AWS consultants to help teams focus on product development while handling cloud infrastructure with enterprise-level security.
Brief about the founder
Alex Jeensma began working in technology in 2009, progressing from VMBO to university. By 2017, he was leading technology at Dataswitcher, where the company secured Intuit as a client. This experience highlighted the impact of infrastructure and compliance on scaling globally.
As an interim CTO, Jeensma observed how teams often spend time managing infrastructure instead of focusing on their core product.
Currently, Jeensma is developing tools aimed at helping CTOs concentrate on their product and team rather than on infrastructure challenges.
