Artifakt

Following a fundraising process led by Ader Finance, Artifakt raises a €4m Series A round from Omnes Capital, Alliance Entreprendre & Verve Ventures to develop its PaaS solution.

This transaction is a further endorsement of Ader's expertise in Series A & B fundraising with 4 deals successfully closed over the last 6 months.

Launched in 2017, Artifakt’s mission is to make web applications agile and secure. Empowering developers, digital agencies and Enterprises alike to develop, manage, run and scale web applications especially in the e-commerce sector. This unique positioning of Artifakt as an all-in-one platform, meeting both the agility needs of developers and the security, scalability and reliability requirements of the infrastructures of companies has led to a €4m Series A funding. With this funding, the company will consolidate its leader board position in France and continue to expand throughout Europe as a complete PaaS solution.

“The Covid 19 crisis was a real catalyst for e-commerce, highlighting the need to fully control your Cloud infrastructure. Artifakt provides exceptional answers to e-commerce and all businesses. Our funding will allow managers to accelerate an ambitious R&D roadmap and to develop internationally”, underlines Fabien Collangettes, Director of Investments at Omnes Capital and one of Artifakt’s investors for this Series A round.

“Artifakt’s management team has a deep understanding of its client’s pain points as they have already worked with hundreds of them and have the skills to grow and develop in Europe”, says Xavier Mesnier , investment manager at Verve Ventures.

With this round, Artifakt will pursue 3 major objectives:

• Establish its leadership position on the French PaaS market and continue to transform the daily work of hundreds of development teams with an innovative product adapting to the reality of their challenges and need for autonomy.
• Expand its presence on the European market
• Consolidate its team by recruiting international web and cloud experts to reach its ambitious goals.

“We are proud to welcome Omnes Capital, Alliance Entreprendre and Verve Ventures into our capital. Their extensive experience in supporting innovative startups in international markets will help us pursue our strong growth beyond our historical scope. The DevOps methodology has been structured a lot since the creation of Artifakt but remains addressed in a siloed way with developers on one side and companies on the other. Our solution creates a bridge between these two worlds for the benefit of our users”, says Aymeric Aitamer, CEO of Artifakt.

Artifakt’s PaaS solution for developers and companies already has more than 30 domestic customers such as Bricorama, Lancaster and Pandacraft as well as international ones like Noukies (Belgium) and Thriftify (Ireland), who trust our product for testing and implementing their sites in the most efficient way possible, by prioritizing security, speed and availability, while allowing full monitoring of their web activities.
