Paris-based startup PRESAGE, which builds models that predict cloud infrastructure behavior, has secured €1.2 million in funding from welovefounders, Kima Ventures, and Boost10x, to accelerate product development and its first real-world deployments.
- PRESAGE, established in 2023 by Benjamin Rey and Arthur Chevalier, develops causal world models for cloud infrastructure. The company builds systems that simulate how cloud environments behave over time, enabling engineering teams to anticipate the effects of changes before they are applied.
- Unlike traditional monitoring tools that report the current state, PRESAGE’s models capture the structure, dynamics, and causal relationships within workloads, resources, and dependencies.
- The firm works directly inside production cloud environments, using real operational data to train models that continuously learn and adapt. By embedding these models into infrastructure, PRESAGE allows teams to explore the system as a whole, predict how actions propagate, identify inefficiencies, and make decisions based on future outcomes rather than reactive alerts.
- Its approach treats cloud infrastructure as a dynamic, interconnected system rather than a collection of metrics, offering a fundamentally different way to understand and manage complex computing environments.
Details of the deal
- PRESAGE will use the €1.2 million funding to accelerate the development of its causal world models for cloud infrastructure, enabling engineering teams to simulate the impact of actions before executing them and shift to predictive, anticipatory operations, while supporting the first real-world deployments and refining the technology based on feedback from engineering leaders.
"Huge applause to Benjamin Rey, Arthur Chevalier and the entire team for transforming cutting-edge research into a practical, category-defining product. We are proud to support you and be part of this journey," Kima Ventures' team, commented on LinkedIn.
