Paris-based startup Ewake has raised €2 million in pre-seed funding to transform how engineering teams ensure software reliability using AI agents. The round was led by Connect Ventures, with participation from 2100 Ventures, Notion Capital, Insiders, 50partners, and angel investor Amirhossein Malekzadeh.
From Firefighting to Prevention: A Smarter Way to Handle Software Reliability
Founded by former Criteo engineers Pooné Mokari (CEO) and Omid Gosha (CTO), Ewake was created to address one of the toughest challenges in software engineering: maintaining reliability while delivering at startup speed.
Instead of relying solely on static monitoring tools or manual incident responses, Ewake introduces an AI teammate that operates alongside engineers, proactively identifying and resolving reliability issues before they escalate.
Its suite of AI agents continuously monitor production systems, interpret signals, and recommend corrective actions—effectively turning reliability management into a collaborative process between humans and AI.
Agentic AI for Real-World Engineering Environments
The company’s agentic approach allows its AI agents to learn from each environment, adapting to different infrastructures and business contexts. This continuous learning loop enables the agents to:
- Detect potential system failures in real time
- Investigate and suggest resolutions autonomously
- Automate repetitive maintenance tasks
- Correlate production data across tools to prevent downtime
“Our goal is to give developers more ownership over their code, with AI agents that act as smart, always-on teammates,” said Pooné Mokari, CEO and co-founder of Ewake.
“By combining autonomy and intelligence, we can help teams ship faster without sacrificing reliability.”
A Strategic Move for the AI Infrastructure Landscape
The €2M investment will fuel the development of new AI agents, expand Ewake’s engineering team in Paris, and support early customer onboarding. Ewake’s technology aligns with a growing trend in agentic AI, where intelligent agents augment human workflows rather than replace them.
Investors like Connect Ventures and Notion Capital—known for backing high-growth SaaS and deeptech companies—see Ewake as part of a new generation of AI-first infrastructure startups focused on real-world engineering impact.
As the demand for reliable software delivery continues to surge, Ewake’s mission to combine speed with resilience puts it at the intersection of AI innovation and software infrastructure.
