Ewake, a Paris-based startup founded by former Criteo engineers, has secured a seed funding of 2 million euros led by Connect Ventures, and has gained participation from conceptual capital, 2100 ventures, insiders and 50 partners. The round also saw support from angel investors, including Amirihosain Malekzadeh.
Ewake emerges from stealth with a mission to rebuild how teams manage software reliability. With fresh funding, Ewake plans to grow its Paris-based team and expand its suite of intelligent agents. The goal is to create new features that will help expand product reach and help more businesses minimize downtime.
Software Reliability AI Teammates
Ewake's innovation lies in “AI Teammates,” a suite of intelligent agents that actively monitor the production environment and prevent crisis before escalating. Instead of simply collecting and displaying data like traditional observability platforms, Ewake's agents investigate, interpret and correlate information in real time.
Agents are designed to work with existing engineering tools, helping teams to detect problems early and automate repetitive reliability tasks over time. Unlike static dashboards, these agents evolve as they learn from each deployment, gaining a contextual understanding of the company's software and business behavior. This approach helps you recover faster from incidents and increase visibility into the root cause without the overwhelming engineer with a stream of data.
Founders who solve shared problems
Ewake was founded by immigrant female engineers Pooné Mokari and Omid Gosha. Mokari's expertise in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and Gosha's background in software development provided a unique blend of perspectives.
Their collaboration grew from the common frustration faced by engineers who rely on fragmented tools that abandon a large amount of telemetry data but provide almost practical insights. By creating Ewake, they aimed to fill this gap and ensure reliability is accessible to all developers, not just SRES. The result is a system that converts raw data into co-intelligence, allowing developers to take ownership of the reliability process while maintaining speed.
According to Mokari, the company's CEO, competitors include Resolve.ai and Phoebe.ai.
A global vision with diverse cores
Ewake has embraced global thinking since its founding. The founding team has achieved gender parity of 50-50 and represents four nationalities with a core team of five. The startup also benefits from a cross-border investor base across the UK and France, reflecting its ambition to serve global software teams from day one.
Especially when software complexity increases with rapid code generation, developers face challenges in diagnosing faults and maintaining stability. Ewake addresses this directly by allowing engineers to engage with reliability as an active, continuous process rather than a reactive chore. Competitors like Resolve.ai and Phoebe.ai have made advances in similar areas, but Ewake's agent-based approach is positioned as a more dynamic and integrated solution.
“We're looking forward to seeing you in the future,” said Pooné Mokari, CEO and co-founder of Ewake. “Software downtime costs the technology industry $400 million each year to loss in revenue and productivity, as well as reputational damage. A wave of engineering tools has begun to tackle this growing phenomenon. It has failed, and everything is without a concrete explanation of the root cause and the real impact of that failure.
Another problem with existing tools is that they are not delivered to developers, but to the site's reliability engineer (SRES). This leads to developers who are not incentivized to ensure reliability. ”
Pietro Bezza, managing partner at Connect Ventures, said, “Ewake is turning the software into its heads. Engineers spend too much time on boring maintenance, expensive and buried in data. But the real value these days is to speed up data collection, triage, and actually fixation issues.”
