Zurich-based Namespace, a developer platform providing fast coding, build, and testing environments for Mac, Windows, and Linux, has raised €37 million ($42 million) in Series B funding. The company plans to use the fresh capital to accelerate product development and expand its data center infrastructure.

The round, announced just seven months after Namespace’s Series A, was led by Scale Venture Partners, with participation from 20VC, NEA, Essence, Burst Capital, and angel investors including Olivier Pomel, CEO of Datadog. The latest funding brings Namespace’s total capital raised to €58 million ($65 million).

The funding comes as demand for Namespace’s platform continues to grow rapidly, with the company reporting an eightfold increase in total revenue over the past 12 months.

“I started Namespace because I believe developers deserve better. At Google, I saw how much great tools & infrastructure changes the way developers work. Outside of a handful of companies, that still doesn’t exist,” says Hugo Santos, Founder and CEO of Namespace. “My vision is to make that experience the default for every fast moving company. We’re starting where developers and their agents spend the entire day: coding and CI.”


Namespace’s Series B arrives as investment in European developer tools and infrastructure continues to gain momentum in 2026.

According to EU-Startups, around €160 million has been invested across ten comparable or adjacent companies this year. Notable deals include €61.5 million raised by Belfast-based software supply-chain platform Cloudsmith, €31 million secured by Cambridge-based software engineering company Undo, €21 million for Paris-based orchestration platform Kestra, and €4 million raised by Helsinki-based AI-native CI/CD startup Avrea.

Switzerland has also seen significant activity in the sector. Zurich-based Rapidata raised €7.2 million to develop AI infrastructure, while Pfäffikon-based AI Infrastructure Capital AG launched with approximately €16 million dedicated to expanding compute capacity.

“The use of agents in software development challenges the tradeoff assumptions made by prior generations of tooling,” adds Javier Redondo, Partner at Scale Venture Partners. “Namespace is​ the platform that can meet the demand for speed and scalability, while delivering the same reliability and security that engineers have grown accustomed to.”

Founded in 2022 by former Google Principal Engineer Hugo Santos, Namespace provides fast coding, build, and testing environments for Mac, Windows, and Linux.

While hyperscalers such as AWS and GCP are primarily built to support production workloads, Namespace focuses specifically on coding, build, and test environments. The company designs and deploys its own server racks across global locations, using this infrastructure as the foundation for its suite of developer products.

Namespace is already used by more than 1,000 organizations, including SpaceXAI, Ramp, Framer, ElevenLabs, Vanta, Bilt, and Sierra.

“Namespace is the best dev infrastructure tool I’ve used in years. We run everything from our CI to Oz, our cloud agent platform, on Namespace, and I could not recommend it enough,” says Aloke Desai, Head of Product Engineering, Warp

According to the company, some of today’s most important digital interactions take place on iPhones and MacBooks. However, most infrastructure providers do not support Mac environments, leaving developers and AI coding agents without a reliable way to build and test iOS and macOS applications for the App Store. Namespace addresses this gap by providing Mac environments at scale, equipped with the developer tools needed to build and test Apple-platform applications. This has driven growing demand for its Mac-based infrastructure.

With the new funding, Namespace plans to expand its data center footprint, including its fleet of Mac hardware, while also opening new offices in San Francisco and New York City.
