Horizon Technology Finance, an affiliate of Monroe Capital, announced that on September 15, 2023 it provided a $35 million venture loan facility to Mirantis, Inc. ("Mirantis"), of which $20 million has been initially funded.

Mirantis frees developers to create their most valuable code, building and managing open cloud software infrastructure, enabling enterprises across a wide range of industries to ship code more rapidly, notably improving the productivity and efficiency of developers.

Mirantis serves more than 700 enterprise customers and supports 400,000 container nodes in production. Lens, Mirantis' Kubernetes development platform, supports more than 50,000 companies and 1 million users. Mirantis is backed by top-tier investors including Intel Capital and Insight Partners. The company will use the loan proceeds for general growth and working capital.
