IRIS led the Paris and London-based startup round, with BGV joining alongside existing investors Serena and Partech. The company’s Infrahub platform is produced on TikTok and a European cloud provider, which has reduced deployment time from five days to fifteen minutes.
OpsMillThe Paris-headquartered infrastructure data management company has raised $14 million in Series A led by IRIS, with participation from BGV and existing investors Serena and Partech.
The company says the funding will continue to grow its engineering and product teams and develop the Infrahub platform, designed to give AI agents and engineering teams a single, trusted view of an enterprise’s IT infrastructure.
Entrepreneurship addresses a problem that most businesses have lived quietly for years. Although automation is spread through applications and workflows, information describing the underlying infrastructure, physical hardware, virtual machines, cloud resources, and the relationships between them remains scattered across spreadsheets, configuration management databases, and custom scripts.
None of these sources are intended to provide reliable information to AI agents. When agents act with incomplete or inaccurate infrastructure data, the company says, the result is errors that can quickly cascade across production systems.
OpsMill refers to two numbers to measure the problem. Gartner forecasts Thirty percent of enterprises will automate more than half of their network activities by 2026, up from less than 10 percent in mid-2023. Based on the ITIC 2024 hourly cost of absenteeism reportbefore accounting for reputational costs, the average business loses about $300,000 per hour of downtime.
OpsMill’s flagship product, Infrahub, takes a different approach to presenting infrastructure data than the table-based asset registers that most enterprises use. The platform is built on a graphical database that shows the relationships between hundreds of thousands of infrastructure elements, including metadata that describes how each element should be configured.
Each proposed change is validated and approved through a DevOps-style review process before deployment. Co-founder and CEO Damien GarrosCo-founded and expanded Infrahub co-founder and COO Karen GallantryBefore starting OpsMill, Juniper spent two decades on the operator side of the same problem at Roblox and Network to Code.
Garros framed the case for the company. “Automation is ultimately a data problem, and if you only see your network partially, you’re flying blind” he said in the announcement.
“Writing code to automate infrastructure was never the problem; the problem was always maintaining it and trusting it in production. We built Infrahub so that infrastructure teams and the AI agents working with them always have complete, reliable information about what’s available, what’s available, and how to safely change and evolve.”
Infrahub is available in two editions, the free open source Community and the licensed Enterprise. OpsMill compares the model to that of GitLab, where users can develop in the open source version and upgrade to the Enterprise edition when they need management and compatibility features at scale.
The open source community already includes global retailers, fintechs, insurers and manufacturers, as well as hyperscalers including TikTok, who are already using the Enterprise edition in Europe and North America.
Eurofiber, a European cloud services provider named in the announcement as an Enterprise customer, reduced service uptime from five days to fifteen minutes after deploying Infrahub. This figure is the most specific customer data point in the company’s release.
IRIS managing partner Julien-David Nitlech described the fund’s investment in similar terms in the announcement.
“The race to implement AI in enterprise infrastructure is real, but most organizations are trying to build on foundations that were never designed for it” he said.
“OpsMill solves the problem that everyone has been working around: without clean, structured, reliable infrastructure data, AI-driven operations simply cannot work at scale.”
Headquartered in Paris with a London office, OpsMill says the Series A will fund engineering and product expansion alongside continued development of its data-centric AIOps capabilities.
