Paris-based observability startup Tsuga has raised €8.7 million in Seed funding to expand its platform, which is designed to help enterprises handle the rapid growth of telemetry data such as logs, metrics, and traces. The funding round was led by General Catalyst, with participation from Singular and several notable angel investors, including Amjad Masad, Charles Gorintin, Jonathan Benhamou, Olivier Bonnet, and Philippe Corrot.
The company, which is emerging from stealth, will use the new financing to accelerate product development and scale its engineering and customer success teams.
Tsuga was founded by Gabriel-James Safar and Sébastien Deprez, who previously founded Madumbo before Datadog acquired it. Drawing on their experience in observability and large-scale cloud systems, the team is building a platform that deploys directly into a customer’s cloud environment, a “Bring Your Own Cloud” model meant to address growing concerns around data governance, cost transparency, and sovereignty. With enterprise data volumes increasing an estimated 30% per year, Tsuga aims to provide a more flexible and cost-efficient alternative to existing SaaS-based observability platforms, particularly for companies operating in regulated or data-sensitive industries.
The funding comes amid heightened demand for infrastructure solutions that can support increasingly distributed systems and data-intensive AI workloads. As enterprises seek to control rising monitoring and storage costs, Tsuga positions itself as part of a broader shift toward cloud-native, open standards-driven, and cost-predictable observability architectures.
