Standout Capital invests in Redeploy and Evolate, two leading public cloud specialists focused on Microsoft Azure and AWS in Sweden

The partnership with Standout Capital will further accelerate growth and extend Redeploy’s and Evolate’s abilities to provide end-to-end cloud services to enterprises across the Nordics.

Stockholm, Sep. 27, 2022 – Redeploy takes the next step in its growth journey through a partnership with Standout Capital. Founded in 2015 by Risto Lavett and Jonas Erikson, Redeploy offers a full-suite of cloud services and has grown to become a leading Microsoft Azure specialist. Leveraging its strong competencies across the cloud computing stack, Redeploy serves as a strategic partner in its customers’ digitalization journeys, from migration and modernization to operations management. The customer base includes several leading enterprises in Sweden, with whom Redeploy has long-standing relationships.

A testament to high demand for cloud services as well as an ability to deliver best-in-class quality and know-how, Redeploy has from the start experienced rapid growth and leading customer satisfaction. The company has been able to create a culture and brand that serve as a strong foundation to further scale the organization going forward.

In addition to Redeploy, Standout Capital has also invested in Evolate, a cloud specialist company entirely focused on Amazon Web Services (“AWS”). Evolate and Redeploy will continue to operate as separate companies with separate brands but will where appropriate share knowledge and insights to create an even more inspiring working environment for its employees and be able to provide an even stronger offering to customers with two companies specialized on Azure and AWS.

Redeploy and Evolate currently have c. 40 employees with locations in Sweden, Poland, UK, Lithuania and with headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden.

Lars Linderoth, CEO of Redeploy, comments:

“Redeploy’s journey over the last few years has been amazing. We have had the privilege to welcome a lot of extremely talented employees, opened our first office outside Stockholm, significantly increased our international delivery and manifested our position as the market leader in the Azure eco system. Repeatedly we have proved that our cutting-edge services, our focus on Azure and our tech-savvy culture is a winning concept for bringing business value to our clients and making the most out of their Azure investments.

As we now take the next step on our journey, we are delighted to partner up with Standout Capital. Their experience as active owners in tech companies, international expansion and in scaling up businesses will be greatly beneficial going forward. With our joint efforts, we will build the number one public cloud accelerator, not only in Sweden but across the Nordics.”

Lars Hasselrot, CEO of Evolate, comments:

“While Evolate has only been around for a little more than a year, we have already made a lot of impact on the market. We’ve gathered an amazing team of AWS Specialists and had the privilege to work with great customers early on. Working closely with Amazon Web Services, we have gone from zero to "AWS Advanced Services Partner" and "Well-Architected Partner" in record speed, a feat that AWS themselves called "an outstanding achievement". Together with Standout Capital we will accelerate our journey and come closer to our goal of being the go-to company for AWS competence.”

Klas Hillström, Co-Founder at Standout Capital, comments: 

“We are very excited to partner with Redeploy and Evolate in their continued growth journey. Redeploy and Evolate are both recognized for their high quality and specialist competence, and we are impressed by the strong market position that they have established. In a market where cloud transformation is becoming increasingly vital for companies to stay competitive, and with large internal IT skill gaps, Redeploy and Evolate stand out as the best cloud-native service providers to assist enterprises in their cloud journey. Through initiatives such as further improving the service offering and scaling the organization, our goal is to create a leading multi-cloud powerhouse across the Nordics.“
