Keep, an Open-Source AIOps Platform, Raises $2.7M Pre-Seed Funding
Keep, a Y Combinator-backed open-source AIOps platform, has raised $2.7M in a Pre-Seed funding round led by Runa Capital, with additional support from key industry entrepreneurs and venture firms. Participants include Firestreak and Y Combinator, as well as prominent angel investors like Shay Baron (Elastic CTO and Founder), Andrew Miklas (PagerDuty Co-Founder), David Cramer (Sentry Co-Founder), Maxim Konovalov (NGINX Founder), and Nizam Shapira (Epsagon Founder).
Founded in 2023 by Tal Borenstein and Shahar Glazner in Tel Aviv, Keep recently welcomed Matvey Kukuy, a former Director of Engineering at Grafana, as a Co-Founder. Kukuy led Grafana On-Call, previously known as Amixr, before its acquisition by Grafana. Keep plans to use the funds to accelerate AI-driven research and development, delivering a production-ready, open-source-based AIOps platform for enterprise customers. The company has already secured a $500K+ contract and is in pilot programs with five Fortune 500 companies across SaaS, retail, telecommunications, and IoT sectors.
As the market for AIOps is projected to grow to $32 billion by 2028, Keep is positioned to offer a powerful solution. The company’s platform enhances observability data with an AI-driven intelligence layer, addressing the common challenges of static rules and multiple monitoring tools. Keep’s open-source platform integrates seamlessly with most observability systems and uses proprietary AI models to deliver advanced alert correlation services, reducing the signal-to-noise ratio by up to 97%.
Since its 2023 launch, Keep’s open-source platform has gained significant momentum, with over 3,000 stars on GitHub, 400 community members, and 60 contributors. The platform has also attracted a pipeline of more than 20 companies for proof of concept (PoC) trials of its enterprise offering.
“We see enormous potential in the AIOps market, but previous solutions have limited the scope to alerts,” says Tal Borenstein, Co-Founder of Keep. “Our platform brings a new category of intelligence layered on top of the observability stack, and with this funding, we aim to lead this market.”
Konstantin Vinogradov, General Partner at Runa Capital, praised the Keep team, stating, “Keep’s fast execution and strong product vision, coupled with their open-source ecosystem and advanced AI technology, make them a key player for enterprises looking to maximize value while reducing costs.”
