Tsuga, an observability company founded in 2024, raised $10 million in a seed funding round led by General Catalyst with participation from Singular. The round also includes notable angel investors such as Amjad Masad (Replit), Charles Gorintin (Alan, Mistral AI), Jonathan Benhamou (Resilience), Olivier Bonnet (BlaBlaCar), and Philippe Corrot (Mirakl).
The funding supports the mission to transform observability into a strategic advantage for enterprises in the AI era — making systems hyper-scalable, intelligent, and fully controllable.
Current observability models remain fragmented and costly, with SaaS platforms scaling expenses exponentially and open-source tools creating significant operational burden. The growing data explosion and rise of AI-driven systems have exposed these inefficiencies, pushing existing infrastructures to their limits. Enterprises now require a new foundation designed for hyperscale, intelligence, and complete data ownership.
Tsuga introduces a new platform built from the ground up to provide full visibility without compromises — no missing data, uncontrolled costs, or trade-offs between control and convenience. The system operates on a Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) model, allowing companies to deploy directly within their own environments (AWS, GCP, Azure) while retaining data sovereignty and simplifying compliance.
The architecture ensures predictable and efficient costs by removing data transfer markups, enabling sublinear scaling for telemetry storage. Unified governance allows streamlined management of retention policies, access control, and routing, while open-source collectors ensure no vendor lock-in.
AI-native design gives Tsuga deep contextual understanding of systems, empowering intelligent automation to detect and resolve issues proactively. The result combines the simplicity of SaaS, the control of on-premise, and the intelligence of autonomous systems — all in one platform.
Tsuga’s founding team includes Gabriel-James Safar and Sébastien Deprez, co-founders of Madumbo (acquired by Datadog), who previously led product and engineering initiatives at Datadog. Early team members include Nils Bunge and Valentin Jacquemont, bringing extensive product and go-to-market experience from Datadog, Palantir, and Cognition. Advisors include Renaud Boutet and Emmanuel Gueidan, both formerly of Logmatic.io and Datadog.
Before public launch, Tsuga attracted adoption from major technology, financial, and media enterprises seeking a modern observability foundation optimized for AI-scale operations.
With $10 million in seed funding, Tsuga focuses on continuous product innovation and customer success, aiming to deliver observability that drives real business outcomes and empowers engineering teams worldwide.
