Groundcover

The company's core offering is an observability platform built to monitor modern production environments, particularly those using Kubernetes. Groundcover's key technical differentiator is its use of eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter), a Linux kernel technology that allows for data collection with minimal overhead. This enables the platform to tap into application logs, metrics, and traces directly from the Linux kernel without requiring code changes or invasive instrumentation from its clients. This approach provides granular visibility into a company's entire production stack, helping to identify and resolve issues more rapidly.

Groundcover's business model centers on a "Bring Your Own Cloud" (BYOC) approach. This allows clients to maintain their observability data on their own on-premise infrastructure while the platform remains fully managed by Groundcover, addressing security and data privacy concerns. This model, combined with a pricing structure based on the number of nodes rather than data volume, is designed to offer a more predictable and cost-effective solution compared to legacy systems. The company has secured significant venture capital, including a $20 million Series A in 2022 and a $35 million Series B in April 2025, bringing its total funding to $60 million to support product development and U.S. expansion. Recently, the firm has expanded its offerings to include a dedicated observability tool for Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI-driven workflows.
