TEL AVIV – Israeli cloud-recovery company Dreeze announced $33 million in seed funding Tuesday and said its Application Revival platform is generally available for Amazon Web Services. Norwest and Bessemer Venture Partners led the funding, with participation from Claltech.
In its November 10 announcement, Dreeze said the software is designed to restore complete cloud applications after outages and cyberattacks, rather than recovering data alone. The announcement discloses the funding; it does not establish that the round closed Tuesday.
Cloud applications depend on infrastructure, configurations, identities, encryption keys and connections as well as data. Dreeze says its platform maps those dependencies, backs them up, rebuilds them in the required order and lets customers test recovery before a disruption.
Those are the company’s descriptions of its product, not independently verified recovery results. The release does not provide a uniform recovery-time guarantee or establish that the software eliminates every source of downtime.
“Companies have spent years getting better at backing up data, but getting the data back doesn’t mean the business is back,” co-founder and CEO Ziv Kedem said in the announcement.
Dreeze said it has 70 employees across Israel and the United States. It plans to use the funding for product development, sales and marketing and to expand its enterprise customer reach.
The company distinguishes between two cloud offerings: Dreeze for AWS is in general availability, while its Microsoft Azure offering is in early access, with general availability planned for early 2027. Azure customers should not read the announcement as unrestricted availability today.
Dreeze was formed in 2025 by Ziv Kedem, Oded Kedem and Avi Raichel. Its company history describes the founders’ earlier work at Kashya and Zerto, the disaster-recovery company acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprise in 2021.
What it means: Dreeze is using the funding announcement and AWS launch to pitch application recovery as a broader task than data backup. For potential customers, the useful distinction is what the product actually restores and tests in their own environment, and whether their cloud platform is generally available or still in early access.
