The investment round was led by <a href=\"http:\/\/inventure.fi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Inventure<\/a>, a leading Nordic venture capital company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an exciting time for UpCloud. We want to extend our gratitude to all of our customers and partners who have worked with us. Without you &#8211; we wouldn\u2019t have been able to build UpCloud as it stands today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As many of our customers know, we have fanatically focused on <a href=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/products\/block-storage#maxiops\">high performance<\/a>, reliable <a href=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/blog\/upcloud-support-is-now-available-24-7-all-year-round\">service<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/pricing\">competitive prices<\/a>. We have been lucky to be successful in this as we\u2019ve enjoyed excellent revenue growth and this has enabled us to grow without any external funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our goal is to offer developers the most high-performance cloud infrastructure resources and the best tools to control and manage them on a global scale. With the funding, UpCloud accelerates growth by opening of new data centres and offices, and also &#8211; by hiring great people to our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We anticipate offering our customers more value, now even faster with the help of the funding going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Joel Pihlajamaa<\/strong>, CTO &amp; Founder<br><strong>Antti Vilpponen<\/strong>, CEO<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/signup.upcloud.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/media\/Upcloud-cta-2-300x151.jpg\" alt=\"Call to action regarding signing up for UpCloud's free trial.\" class=\"wp-image-10919\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UpCloud accelerates growth We are incredibly excited to announce that UpCloud accelerates growth by securing \u20ac4 million funding to further improve the products and services [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":60129,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"577,145,571,760,382,3458","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"Blocked by a filter function","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-775","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-announcements"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/775","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=775"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/775\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=775"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=775"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=775"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
