You know a company’s onto something when their entire existence was sparked by corporate trauma. Not the HR kind, the data kind. Picture this: three high-caliber operators in three different powerhouses, Goldman Sachs, Uber Eats, and Amazon, all choking on the same problem: data that looked fine until it wasn’t. Reports that turned to fiction. Pipelines held together with hope and prayer. It wasn’t a bug, it was the system. And that’s exactly where Sifflet comes in.
Founded in June 2021, Sifflet is what happens when you stop patching problems and start building the infrastructure to prevent them. Salma Bakouk, former Executive Director at Goldman Sachs and now CEO and Co-Founder of Sifflet, teamed up with Wissem Fathallah, ex-Uber Eats, ex-Amazon, now Chief Product Officer, and Wajdi Fathallah, a data engineering maestro who previously ran the consulting firm Valuraise. Together, they didn’t just identify the cracks in the system; they built the cement.
This week, they closed an $18M Series B backed by real believers, EQT Ventures and Mangrove Capital Partners, doubling down on their earlier bets, while Capmont Technology came in hot as the newest player at the table. And when seasoned VCs load up on a round in this market, you know it’s not about hype, it’s about fundamentals, and this team’s been compounding wins like interest at the Fed.
Let’s talk growth: tripled revenue. Tripled customer base. Employee count up 53%. From Paris to New York to London, they’re expanding faster than your favorite AI model’s token limit. And with enterprise clients like St-Gobain, BBC Studios, Tripadvisor, and ShopBack already on the roster, they’ve got the kind of traction that turns Series B into a runway, not a lifeline.
Now, don’t mistake Sifflet for another dashboard with lipstick. This is full-stack, AI native observability built for the era of scale. Think real-time anomaly detection, data lineage that actually traces the mess, root cause analysis that doesn’t need a PhD to understand, and AI agents, Sentinel, Sage, and Forge, dropping later this year like reinforcements in a warzone of broken pipelines. And yes, they integrate with the whole modern stack, Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, you name it.
This isn’t just a tool. It’s a safety net for any enterprise bold enough to trust data in their decision-making. Because in a world marching toward AI everything, if you can’t trust your data, you’re just automating chaos.
So congrats to Salma Bakouk, Wissem Fathallah, Wajdi Fathallah, and the entire team at Sifflet. They saw the cracks, built the bridge, and now they’re paving the road. One line of clean, observable, trustworthy data at a time.
