Dreeze exits stealth with $33 million to recover cloud applications

10 November 2026: Dreeze, a cloud recovery company founded by the team behind Zerto, has come out of stealth with $33 million, according to its own homepage. The money is meant for software that brings a whole cloud application back after an outage or attack, which Dreeze calls Application Revival, rather than restoring data alone. The AWS version is generally available now.

Not yet independently verified. Dreeze's homepage states the $33 million and that it is founded by the team behind Zerto. The investors, the seed label, the headcount, the product details and the quotes are from SiliconANGLE only; we could not open Dreeze's own announcement post. We will update this when it can be confirmed, and remove this note.

The round, as SiliconANGLE reports it

Dreeze's homepage states the amount and the founders' history but little else. SiliconANGLE reports that it was a seed round led by Norwest Venture Partners and Bessemer Venture Partners, with Claltech also taking part. It says the company has about 70 employees across Israel and the US and will spend the money on product development and a larger sales and marketing team.

What Application Revival does

According to SiliconANGLE, the software maps cloud resources and their dependencies to the applications that use them and keeps the recovery plan current as the environment changes. Configuration files, keys and application data go into an immutable, air-gapped vault that can be replicated across regions.

During recovery, the software rebuilds the data, infrastructure and identities in dependency order. Teams can also run automated tests of the full recovery plan, which produce a working copy of the application without touching production. SiliconANGLE adds that, according to Bessemer, the company uses AI to map how thousands of cloud resources connect to applications.

The Zerto lineage

SiliconANGLE names Ziv Kedem as co-founder and chief executive and his brother Oded Kedem as co-founder and chief technology officer. Avi Raichel, previously chief operating officer at Zerto, is the third co-founder. The Kedems earlier founded Kashya, sold to EMC in 2006, and Zerto, which Hewlett Packard Enterprise acquired for $374 million in 2021, SiliconANGLE reports.

Availability and what customers said

SiliconANGLE reports that the AWS version is generally available, while the Microsoft Azure version is in early access with general availability planned for early next year. Ziv Kedem told the publication that restoring data "doesn't mean the business is back." Jeremy Miller, chief executive of Coravant, said his firm wanted to work with Dreeze "from the start," and Norwest general partner Dror Nahumi said few teams understand the recovery problem "as deeply as this one."

What the sources leave open

Neither source gives a price, a customer count or a list of supported AWS services, and the city of the headquarters is not stated in what we read. Dreeze's homepage links to its own announcement post, which we could not open.

Buyers weighing it against backup tools will want to ask how recovery tests are run and how long a full rebuild takes, since neither source states a recovery time.
