Dreeze Raises $33 Million to Restore Entire Cloud Applications
Dreeze raised $33 million in seed funding as it emerged from stealth and launched its Application Revival platform for Amazon Web Services.
The company, formed in 2025 by Avi Raichel and brothers Ziv and Oded Kedem, has staff in Israel and the United States.
Its platform is designed to restore entire cloud applications, not just the data stored in them.
Cloud applications also depend on infrastructure, settings, identities, keys and connections, which may be missing after a cyberattack or mistake.
When those pieces are not restored, a business can remain offline even after its data is recovered.
Application Revival maps dependencies, creates recovery plans and can test recovery without affecting live systems.
The AWS version is generally available, while the Microsoft Azure version is in early access and is expected to be generally available in early 2027.
Dreeze emerged from stealth with $33 million in seed funding to develop and expand its cloud application recovery platform.
The round was led by Norwest and Bessemer Venture Partners, with Claltech also investing.
Its Application Revival platform is generally available for Amazon Web Services and is designed to restore whole applications, including data, infrastructure and dependencies.
Dreeze says restoring backed-up data alone may not bring a business back online if an application’s other required components are missing.
The company plans to use the funding for product development, sales and marketing growth, and broader enterprise adoption.
