Dapple announced the closing of a $30 million seed financing round backed by The Raptor Group and Ion Pacific, providing capital to accelerate global deployments of its Enterprise OS Cloud platform.
The company said it has already secured more than $100 million in customer contracts just five months after launch and is running production AI workloads for enterprise customers in dedicated, single-tenant environments.
Dapple describes the Enterprise OS Cloud as a new category of AI infrastructure that sits between public cloud providers and private data centers. The platform is designed to provide enterprises with dedicated, in-country cloud environments that offer deterministic performance, data residency, governance controls, and enhanced security.
According to the company, enterprises with demanding AI workloads have traditionally faced limited options, including building infrastructure internally, waiting for hyperscaler capacity, or renting raw compute resources without enterprise-grade controls. Dapple aims to provide a fourth alternative through an operating system that unifies fragmented infrastructure into a single managed environment.
The company said the infrastructure is already live and supporting production AI workloads globally. The new funding will be used to expand deployments and scale what Dapple calls the Enterprise OS Cloud category.
Dapple was founded by Chief Executive Officer Tricia Martinez and Chief Operating Officer Salam Al-Mosawi. Their teams have collectively deployed more than 300,000 accelerators across enterprise and hyperscaler environments.
KEY QUOTES:
“For years, the enterprises with the most to deploy on AI had no good place to run it. The Enterprise OS Cloud ends that choice. We did not raise capital to build what exists today. We are building the next generation of enterprise AI infrastructure with over $100M in contracts to prove it. This new capital will help us scale exponentially.”
Tricia Martinez, Chief Executive Officer of Dapple
“We have backed category creators before. Dapple did the rare thing. It proved the category in production before it raised funds to scale. More than $100M in customer contracts in five months of operations is a market telling you it was waiting for this.”
Jim Pallotta, Managing Director and Chairman of The Raptor Group
“The demand we see is global. Enterprises everywhere want to run AI inside their own borders, on infrastructure they control. We are not aware of anyone else who can effectively deliver this. Dapple can, and it is already live. That is why we backed this round.”
Michael Joseph, Founding Partner of Ion Pacific
“Enterprises need infrastructure built for their own workloads, not a shared system that they rent by the hour. We built it dedicated and in-country for the individual enterprise, and it is carrying production load today.”
Salam Al-Mosawi, Chief Operating Officer of Dapple
