Shuttle secures £4.5m in seed funding led by backers including Y Combinator to build AI infrastructure.
The seed round features participation from Y Combinator and Global Founders Capital to support multi-language expansion.
Shuttle is an AI-enabled cloud infrastructure platform that helps developers deploy applications quickly from code to cloud. The company provides a backend construction kit that pairs code with infrastructure to automate cloud resource provisioning.
Shuttle has raised £4.5m in a seed investment round backed by investors including Y Combinator, Global Founders Capital, Thomas Dohmke, and Calvin French-Owen. The funds will support the company as it expands its zero-config deployment experience across multiple programming languages and AI coding workflows.
The platform initially gained traction within the Rust community by helping developers deploy backends quickly. With over 20,000 developers having used the service to deploy applications more than 120,000 times, the team now aims to tackle backend infrastructure bottlenecks in the era of AI-generated code.
Investor perspective
"In the era of AI, developers are writing apps faster than ever with the help of coding agents like GitHub Copilot or Claude Code. Deploying and running these applications as fast as creating them is the next major frontier and Shuttle is uniquely positioned to be a leader in this space and enable quick iteration cycles for every full-stack builder."
