Thoras.ai announced the closure of a $5 million seed funding round led by Wellington Ventures, with participation from Sinewave Ventures, Focal Ventures, Storytime Capital, and other strategic investors.
This new capital will enable Thoras to scale its AI-driven platform. With its unique AI/ML strategy, Thoras is redefining how enterprises achieve reliability, uncover root causes, and prevent costly downtime—offering a bold new vision for scalable, adaptive observability.
Building on the momentum of its $1.5 million pre-seed round, Thoras is shaking up traditional cloud observability. Founded by twin sisters Nilo and Jen Rahmani, the company has unlocked the holy grail of root cause analysis, delivering a powerful AI/ML-enabled platform that they both wish they had access to during their time as on-call engineers. Thoras enables customers to scale cloud workloads resources seamlessly while proactively preventing costly service downtime—transforming observability from a pain point into a competitive advantage.
“We want customers to have the best of both worlds. AI/ML allows us to reduce noisy metrics and under utilized compute—without sacrificing performance,” said Nilo Rahmani, CEO of Thoras. “We’re proud to introduce the industry to Adaptive Reliability, a breakthrough product that proves growing enterprises no longer need to choose between reliability and cost—you can have both.”
Thoras’s lightweight platform has proven its ability to slash cloud costs by up to 50% while reducing incident response times by over half. With its proactive approach, Thoras empowers engineers to stay ahead of system anomalies, eliminating the need to sift through mountains of unhelpful data.
With this new funding, Thoras will continue building a world-class engineering team, refining its adaptive reliability technology, and addressing critical pain points faced by enterprise customers navigating complex observability tooling. This investment highlights a strong belief in Thoras’s unique approach to cutting costs, preventing downtime, and redefining observability at scale.
Van Jones, Deal Lead at Wellington Access Ventures, said: “As thesis-driven investors, we’ve been seeking the next generation of software that tackles major SRE and DevOps challenges. Thoras is achieving impressive results in a short amount of time and addressing critical cloud costs and uptime issues faced by companies today.”
“From the day we led their pre-seed, Thoras has had a crystal-clear vision, been extremely customer obsessed, and as a result, have exceeded expectations at every turn,” said Pascal Ungar, Managing Partner at Focal Ventures. ”With a bold vision, a fantastic team, and a superior solution, this round empowers them to transform the broken state of observability - a huge market opportunity.”
