Groundcover, the Israeli startup behind the high-performance eBPF-based observability platform for cloud-native applications, has announced a $35 million Series B funding round. The round was led by Zeev Ventures, with continued support from Angular Ventures, Heavybit, and Jibe Ventures. This latest investment brings the company’s total funding to $60 million.
The funding will accelerate Groundcover’s expansion across the United States, where the company is gaining traction by replacing legacy observability tools like Datadog, New Relic, and Grafana Cloud. Designed for modern infrastructure, Groundcover leverages eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) technology to deliver real-time, low-overhead observability for Kubernetes environments.

By offering cost-effective, developer-friendly monitoring, Groundcover is positioning itself as a disruptive alternative in the increasingly competitive cloud observability space. With this new capital, the company aims to further its U.S. go-to-market strategy, scale operations, and continue innovating its platform to meet the evolving needs of enterprise DevOps teams.
“Our platform offers much better coverage and value than the legacy application monitoring solutions that have been around for over a decade,” said Shahar Azulay, CEO and Co-Founder of groundcover. “We are the only solution built with eBPF at the forefront from day one, and we are now pioneering the ‘bring your own cloud’ approach to observability that enables organizations to keep their data on premise while maintaining all of the benefits of the SaaS experience.”
Groundcover offers the world’s first “Bring Your Own Cloud” (BYOC) observability solution, a novel architecture where customers host their observability data on-premise while groundcover provides full management. This unique approach is driving groundcover’s rapid adoption by prioritizing customer security and privacy, offering unlimited data coverage, and providing a complete observability suite with simple, predictable pricing. groundcover also uses eBPF to collect granular observability data directly from the Linux kernel, giving engineers deep visibility into traces, application metrics, infrastructure performance, and application logs across their entire environment.
Today, Groundcover has 60 employees, has grown over 500% in ARR since last year, and is investing heavily in big partnerships including AWS, GCP and others. Their modern observability platform is used by hundreds of enterprises, ranging from fast-growing technology companies to the Fortune 100.
