Dreeze, a startup specializing in cloud application recovery, announced a successful seed funding round of $33 million as it unveils its platform designed to fully restore cloud applications. Emerging from stealth mode, Dreeze aims to address the challenges enterprises face in recovering not just data but entire applications after cyberattacks.
Investment and Strategic Growth
The funding round was prominently led by Norwest and Bessemer Venture Partners, with additional support from Claltech. Dreeze, operating with teams in both Israel and the United States, plans to utilize these funds for product enhancement, expanding their sales and marketing departments, and broadening their market reach.
Founded in 2025 by Avi Raichel along with Ziv and Oded Kedem, Dreeze’s leadership team brings experience from their previous collaboration at Zerto, a company acquired by HPE, and Kashya. Their mission is to redefine recovery by offering a solution that extends beyond mere data retrieval.
Innovative Recovery Approach
Dreeze’s core offering, the Application Revival platform, continuously scans a customer’s cloud environment to identify resources and dependencies for each application. It formulates recovery plans that are securely stored in an immutable vault. In the event of a disruption, the platform can autonomously reconstruct the entire application environment, not just the data.
This solution is particularly critical in scenarios where cyber threats or AI errors compromise application configurations, secrets, and infrastructure. Application Revival also allows for recovery testing in isolated accounts, ensuring no disruption to ongoing operations.
Future Outlook and Market Expansion
CEO Ziv Kedem emphasizes the necessity of comprehensive recovery solutions in an era where cyber threats are escalating and AI introduces unique challenges. Dreeze’s goal is to establish Application Revival as the industry standard for application recovery.
The platform is currently available for AWS, with early access for Microsoft Azure users. A full rollout for Azure is anticipated by early 2027, expanding Dreeze’s potential impact on the cloud computing landscape.
In the context of increasing cybersecurity concerns, Dreeze’s approach to cloud application recovery positions it as a critical player in ensuring business continuity for enterprises worldwide.
