groundcover raised $35 Million in Series B funding led by Zeev Ventures with follow-up participation from Angular Ventures, Heavybit, and Jibe Ventures.
This brings the company's total funding to $60 Million USD, which will be used to aggressively expand in the USA.
"Our platform offers much better coverage and value than the legacy application monitoring solutions that have been around for over a decade," said Shahar Azulay, CEO and Co-Founder of groundcover. "We are the only solution built with eBPF at the forefront from day one, and we are now pioneering the 'bring your own cloud' approach to observability that enables organizations to keep their data on premise while maintaining all of the benefits of the SaaS experience."
groundcover is a "Bring Your Own Cloud" (BYOC) observability solution, redefining the architecture of a modern observability platform by enabling customers to host their observability data on-prem, while still being fully managed by groundcover. This approach is the X-factor behind groundcover's velocity, maximizing the security and privacy needs of customers, while unlocking coverage tradeoffs with unlimited data, and providing a full observability suite with a simple, predictable pricing model. groundcover also utilizes eBPF to collect observability data straight from the Linux kernel, providing engineers with super-granular visibility into their entire environment including traces, application-level metrics, infrastructure performance and application logs.
"groundcover is fundamentally reshaping the observability landscape. With its eBPF-driven platform and 'Bring Your Own Cloud' approach, it's setting a new standard for depth of observability, cost efficiency, and security," said Oren Zev, Founder of Zeev Ventures. "As the industry continues to shift to richer experiences, such as AI, around observability data, groundcover with its unique and modern architecture is positioned to outpace legacy solutions and dominate the space."

Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 24, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses network observability tool sprawl ...
In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
When most people think about cybersecurity, they picture firewalls, encryption, and access controls — technical tools designed to protect systems and data. But beneath the technology lies a deeper set of principles about trust, decision-making, and resilience ... The best leaders don't eliminate risk. They manage it intelligently. And in many ways, cybersecurity offers a surprisingly useful playbook for doing exactly that ...
