Cairo - Egypt-born Stakpak secured $500,000 in pre-seed funding to scale its AI-powered DevOps platform, which streamlines infrastructure management for developers.

As per the official press release, the round was led by P1 Ventures, with participation from Digital Currency Group, 500 Sanabil, and Instabug co-founders Moataz Soliman and Omar Gabr.

Founded by George Fahmy, Stakpak has been quietly building its platform over the past two years. Fahmy, who worked with software firms in the US and Europe during his first year of college, saw firsthand how infrastructure work slowed developers down.

Fahmy launched Stakpak in 2021, going full-time in 2022, just before the rise of ChatGPT. Inspired by AI’s impact on coding, his team began integrating large language models (LLMs) into DevOps workflows, achieving what he calls state-of-the-art automation.

Stakpak’s AI-powered DevOps agent can complete infrastructure tasks in 50 minutes instead of four hours, dramatically reducing the time developers spend on backend operations.

The company initially operated on a per-seat pricing model but has pivoted to a pay-per-request system, allowing businesses to integrate Stakpak’s APIs into their internal tools.

With a team split between the US and Egypt, Stakpak is focusing on the American market, while keeping engineering and product development in Cairo.
