SOFIA, 28 JULY 2026 – 3TS Capital Partners led the round, joined by TDJ Growth and Endeavor Catalyst, as enterprises race to make data AI-ready without leaving it vulnerable to breaches, ransomware, downtime, or vendor lock-in.
Tiger Technology, a leader in always-on hybrid cloud data management for mission-critical operations, has announced the initial closing of a $10 million Series A. The round is led by TCEE Fund IV, advised by 3TS Capital Partners, with participation from TDJ, Endeavor Catalyst and IMPETUS, alongside existing investors. The proceeds will fund global expansion across the where the company has already built strong traction, while accelerating its product portfolio innovation and expanding its sales and partner ecosystem to support a growing base of enterprise customers.
The company’s flagship product, Tiger Bridge, installs as a control layer on top of existing on-premises and cloud storage, giving users and applications continuous, transparent data access – so enterprises can place, protect and activate data for AI without replacing infrastructure or disrupting operations. Tiger manages more than 100 petabytes for demanding transportation, media, construction and government customers, was recently named an AWS Rising Star Partner of 2025, and operates in a hybrid storage market projected to reach $29.3 billion by 2030.
“Many years ago, we made a bet that felt contrarian at the time. The industry was drawing a hard line between ‘cloud’ and ‘on-premises’ – as if enterprises would eventually have to pick one and abandon the other. We didn’t believe that. We believed the real need was a transparent bridge between the two: seamless, efficient, and invisible to the workflows that depend on it. Adoption of AI, always-on data access and an increasing threat landscape are significant drivers for our solutions and our growth.“
– Alexander Lefterov, Founder & CTO, Tiger Technology
An early bet for IMPETUS
The Series A builds on a conviction IMPETUS acted on early. The firm first backed Tiger in 2024, contributing €400,000 to a €2 million convertible loan alongside angel investors – drawn by the company’s hybrid-first approach, its leadership under founder Alexander Lefterov and CEO Iravan Hira, and a scalable model aligned with the enterprise shift to hybrid cloud.
Lead investor 3TS Capital Partners is a technology growth firm active across Central Europe; it is joined by TDJ Growth, the growth arm of a leading Polish family office, and Endeavor Catalyst. Investors pointed to Tiger’s petabyte-scale hybrid technology, its mission-critical deployments, and the tailwind from enterprise AI adoption and data sovereignty.
