Israeli Cloud-Recovery Startup Dreeze Launches With $33 Million in Seed Funding

Israeli startup Dreeze emerged from stealth Tuesday with $33 million in seed funding and a platform designed to restore entire cloud applications after outages or cyberattacks, rather than recovering data alone.

Norwest and Bessemer Venture Partners led the funding round, with participation from Claltech. The company was formed in 2025 by backup-industry veterans Avi Raichel and brothers Ziv and Oded Kedem, whose earlier companies include Zerto and Kashya.

Dreeze says its Application Revival platform maps the resources an application needs, including infrastructure, configurations, identities, keys and connections. It then backs up those resources and runs a recovery plan in the order needed to bring the application back online.

The company also offers automated recovery tests so businesses can check whether their applications can be restored before a disruption. These are the company's descriptions of its product, not an independent assessment of its performance.

Dreeze for Amazon Web Services is generally available. Its Microsoft Azure product is in early access, with general availability planned for early 2027.

Dreeze says it has 70 employees across Israel and the United States and will use the funding for product development and to expand sales and marketing.
