What CoreStack Inc does

CoreStack Inc is a Bellevue, Washington-based software company founded in 2016 that provides an AI-native Agentic Governance Operating System unifying FinOps, SecOps, and CloudOps across multi-cloud environments (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure). The platform is built around proprietary technology including the Large Cloud Governance Model (LCGM), the CR360 (Cloud Resource 360) intelligence layer, agentic AI capabilities (Graphion AI Agent, Assessments AI Agent, Agentic Feed), and the Graphion CNAPP for cloud-native security, all delivered as modular subscription products.

The company operates a partner-first go-to-market model targeting Managed Service Providers, Systems Integrators, cloud resellers, distributors, and Microsoft Licensing Solution Partners, while maintaining direct enterprise sales for large accounts and listings on the AWS, Azure, and GCP marketplaces. Revenue is generated through tiered annual subscriptions across CoreStack Governance (FinOps+, SecOps, CloudOps), CoreStack Assessments, and Graphion (Bronze/Silver/Gold tiers), plus token-based AI Agent usage and professional services.

CoreStack serves more than 2,000 customers and partners globally following its March 2026 acquisition of BetterCloud, governing $6 billion in annual cloud consumption and $35 billion in SaaS spend across verticals including healthcare, financial services, and US federal government. The company has raised approximately $95.7 million in disclosed funding across a Series B (Avatar Growth Capital, 2021) and a $50 million growth financing from Post Road Group (October 2025), and reports 30%+ year-over-year ARR growth with 97% two-year revenue growth per Inc. magazine recognition.

Core offering

CoreStack provides an AI-native cloud governance platform that unifies FinOps, SecOps, and CloudOps across multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI). The platform is sold via subscription as modular products — CoreStack Governance (FinOps+, SecOps, CloudOps), CoreStack Graphion (an AI-native CNAPP), CoreStack Assessments (multi-cloud framework evaluations), and the acquired BetterCloud SaaS management platform — together forming what the company calls the Agentic Governance Operating System.

Product overview

CoreStack provides an AI-native Agentic Governance Operating System platform that unifies cloud, SaaS, and AI governance for enterprises. The platform operates on a modular architecture centered around the CoreStack Governance suite (FinOps+, SecOps, CloudOps), CoreStack Assessments for multi-cloud evaluations, and CoreStack Graphion for CNAPP security. CoreStack Graphion, released in December 2025, delivers cloud-native AI-native security with graph-based vulnerability intelligence, SBOM/IBOM analysis, and an AI Agent powered by the proprietary Large Cloud Governance Model (LCGM). CoreStack FinOps+ provides financial operations across multi-cloud with BillOps, forecasting, and AI-powered anomaly detection. CoreStack Assessments enables multi-cloud framework evaluations enhanced by an Assessments AI Agent with natural language capabilities and MCP integration. The portfolio was significantly expanded in March 2026 through the acquisition of BetterCloud, establishing what CoreStack claims is the industry's first unified Agentic Governance Operating System. CR360 serves as the foundational intelligence layer providing 360-degree visibility across all cloud resources.
