60 seconds max. Don't read the stats — let them land visually. Speak to the open source number because it's the one people remember.

"Let me give you 60 seconds on us, and then we'll spend the rest of the time on you. Stakater. Founded 2016. Headquartered in Sweden. Operating across five countries. Most companies in our space do a project and move on. We never built it that way — we own the full lifecycle, from the first architecture decision through years of sustained platform growth. That number — 24 billion container image pulls. That's Reloader, our open source Kubernetes operator. 10,000 engineers chose to star it on GitHub. You can't manufacture that. That's real production adoption by real engineering teams. We are a product company with a deep professional services engine, and we operate exclusively in the Red Hat world. That's who you're talking to. Now — let's talk about why that matters for you."

Our trajectory tracks Red Hat's platform strategy.

Walk through one milestone per click. Let each one breathe. The MSA in 2020 is the one most people don't expect — spend an extra beat on it.

"Eight years is a long time to stay committed to a single ecosystem. We're not multi-vendor. We're not doing AWS one week and Red Hat the next. Every year since 2018, we've gone deeper. Started as a solution provider — first accounts, first deliveries. 2020, we signed the Red Hat MSA. I want to be specific about what that means: Red Hat can call us and put us in front of their own customers, on Red Hat-led engagements, globally. That's not a channel relationship. That's Red Hat trusting us with their customer relationships. Not many partners have it. 2022, CCSP — lifecycle management and hosted OpenShift delivery at scale. And this year: Premier tier, and the first Container Management Specialization in Sweden. 150 OpenShift clusters. Bare metal, cloud, VMware, Nutanix. Since version 3.7. Every product on that bar — live in production today. This is not a company that discovered Red Hat recently. We've been here since the beginning."

Mid-Market Accounts Don't Expand.
They Churn.

Volume accounts close fast.
Implementation completes.

Platform sits underutilized.
No one owns what happens next.

Renewal arrives.
Customer asks: "What did we get for this?"

Platform value must be demonstrated before renewal — not after.

Every OpenShift Account Is a Portfolio Pipeline

Customers need more than software. They need a working platform.

What Customers Buy

OpenShift subscription.
Implementation project.
Then silence.

What Creates Pull-Through

Platform maturity → storage demand → ODF
Multi-cluster growth → management → ACM
Security requirements → runtime → ACS
Event-driven architecture → streaming → AMQ

Stakater creates the platform conditions that make pull-through inevitable.

Products We Pull Through

ODF

Storage standardization for stateful workloads. Natural step as the platform matures.

ACM

Multi-cluster management at scale. Inevitable once accounts have 2+ clusters.

ACS

Kubernetes-native security. Triggered by compliance and governance maturity.

AMQ

Event streaming. Unlocked as application workloads grow and modernize.

We don't pitch products. We create the maturity that makes customers ask for them.

Accounts That Grew With Stakater

Post-implementation gap closed.

Result: Node growth + ODF adopted. Red Hat footprint expanded across storage and platform.

Lifecycle ownership from Year 1.

Result: 7 consecutive years of node growth. OpenShift became strategic.

Standardization-led expansion.

Result: More nodes, additional clusters, new Red Hat products adopted.

When to Call Stakater

Account with 2+ Clusters

Multi-cluster is the inflection point for ACM and standardization conversations.

Flat Nodes at Renewal

We break the plateau before the renewal conversation gets difficult.

Customer Asking "What's Next?"

Platform maturity assessment. We identify the next product adoption moment.

Post-Implementation Silence

Delivery team disengaged. No one owns the platform. We step in and create momentum.
