Duckbill raises $7.75M and launches Skyway for enterprise cloud cost forecasting

Duckbill Group, the cloud cost consultancy co-founded by Corey Quinn and Mike Julian, has raised $7.75 million and launched Skyway, a financial planning and forecasting platform for enterprise cloud spending. The move shifts the firm from advisory work into software that helps finance and engineering teams plan and manage ongoing costs. Skyway focuses on predicting usage, modelling commitments like Savings Plans and Reserved Instances, and alerting teams when spending drifts from plan. The platform addresses a key pain point as many organisations still rely on spreadsheets whilst facing elastic cloud bills from AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. Duckbill enters a crowded market including CloudZero, Vantage and Kubecost, but leverages its advisory credibility and years of client playbooks to differentiate its offering.

Duckbill raises $7.75M to make cloud spending predictable with Skyway platform

Duckbill has launched Skyway, a unified cost management data platform, and raised $7.75 million from Heavybit, Uncork Capital and Encoded Ventures. The company aims to make cloud spending predictable and actionable across organisations rather than simply reducing costs. The platform addresses complexity caused by consumption-based billing, with AWS alone offering 2.3 million SKUs. Skyway transforms cloud pricing contracts into structured data, enabling enterprises to measure commitment performance, validate billing accuracy and track discount impact. Duckbill appointed Jim Moses as Director of Hyperscaler Strategy. Moses brings seven years of experience negotiating cloud contracts worth up to several billion dollars annually, including time at AWS. The company's clients include Airtable, New Relic, Arctic Wolf, Ticketmaster and Honeycomb.
