Headquarters evidence
Elastic is backed by Benchmark Capital, Index Ventures, and NEA with headquarters in Amsterdam and Mountain View, California, and offices and employees around the world.
Official evidence conflicts on dual headquarters; the SEC filing points to principal executive offices in Mountain View, so the company is operationally outside Europe, but ambiguity remains.
Evidence boundaries
Organisation listings identify a reviewed canonical record. Headquarters is independent of incorporation, registered offices, ownership, hosting and runtime. Model listings show an association in the source register; they do not by themselves establish model creation, current API availability, hosting location or infrastructure ownership.

Profile note
NOTE ON NATIONALITY: Elastic was founded in Amsterdam in 2012 and remains legally a Dutch N.V., but is operationally a US-centric, NYSE-listed company — a Dutch-founded, not a Dutch-run, business. Relevant to this directory because it acquired Jina AI (Berlin) in October 2025, bringing German multimodal/multilingual embedding models in-house, and because ELSER plus the GPU-accelerated Elastic Inference Service make it a meaningful European-rooted retrieval/embedding provider. Exact pricing not captured — recorded as pricing_url only.
