The Series B round also saw participation from Dallas Venture Capital (DVC), Iron Pillar and other angel investors, a statement said.

This brings CoreStack's total funding to $45 million, it added.

The funding will help CoreStack continue its rapid pace of growth and innovation with its AI-powered continuous and autonomous cloud governance at scale, while also making strategic headway with expansion into new markets, it said.

Avatar Growth Capital Managing Director Abhay Havaldar will join CoreStack's Board of Directors, upon required legal clearances, the statement added.
