Cloud Application Recovery Startup Dreeze Emerges from Stealth with $33M in Funding
Dreeze, a cloud application recovery startup, has emerged from stealth mode after raising $33 million in a seed funding round. The company’s platform, named Application Revival, aims to revolutionize the way organizations recover from cyberattacks and data losses by restoring entire applications, not just their data.
The three founders of Dreeze – Avi Raichel and brothers Ziv and Oded Kedem – have a proven track record in cloud infrastructure and disaster recovery. They previously worked together at Zerto, which was acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), and Kashya. The new funding will be used to further develop the Application Revival platform, expand sales and marketing teams, and bring the solution to more enterprises.
Dreeze’s Argument: Why Data Recovery is Not Enough
The company argues that simply recovering data after a cyberattack or data loss is not enough. An application requires not only its data but also configurations, secrets, infrastructure, and connections to function properly. Dreeze’s platform addresses this gap by scanning the customer’s cloud environment on an ongoing basis, identifying resources and dependencies belonging to each application, and generating a recovery plan from the live environment.
The Application Revival platform automatically reconstructs entire applications in a recovery scenario, minimizing downtime and ensuring business continuity. Customers can also run recovery tests in an isolated account without affecting production environments. Ziv Kedem, Dreeze’s CEO, emphasizes that companies have spent years improving data backup processes but still struggle to restore their applications after a disaster.
The increasing threat landscape, including AI-induced risks, makes it essential for enterprises to assume that critical applications will fail. “Our goal is to make Application Revival the new standard, so companies know they have a proven path to bring their applications back when something goes wrong,” Kedem says.
Availability and Future Plans
Dreeze’s Application Revival platform is currently available on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in general availability. Support for Microsoft Azure is in early access, with a planned release in early 2027. As the company continues to grow and expand its offerings, it aims to become a leader in cloud application recovery.
Practical Takeaway
Organizations facing cyberattacks or data losses can benefit from Dreeze’s innovative approach by integrating Application Revival into their disaster recovery strategies. By restoring entire applications rather than just their data, companies can minimize downtime, ensure business continuity, and reduce the risk of further disruptions.
