In large companies, artificial intelligence and business intelligence projects still come up against access to critical data. ERP, CRM, mainframes or Oracle/IBM bases too often work as closed systems, making the extraction of data and complex data. This dependence on aging infrastructure explains why many modernization projects fail before they even started.
It is precisely on this point that PopSs is positioned which has developed a Data Capture (CDC) exchange technology to continuously capture the changes at source and reply them in real time to modern platforms like Snowflake, Databricks or Iceberg. The approach removes the use of heavy migration and integrates with existing architectures.
“All companies want foundations ready for AI and real time. But without safe and reliable access to the data of their critical systems, especially the oldest, the whole chain collapses. PopSnk is the invisible bridge between the operational heart and the business intelligence layer, ”explains Benjamin Djidi, co -founder and CEO.
The demand for real -time data infrastructure experiences a clear acceleration, carried by the development of generative AI projects, the need to modernize Legacy systems and increasing pressure around the sovereignty of data in Europe. “Companies invest massively in analytical platforms and AI projects, but reliable access to critical data remains their Achilles heel. PopSnk responds precisely to this blockage with an essential infrastructure brick, designed for complex environments. It is this type of invisible but structuring technology that transforms ambition into execution, ”underlines Julien-David Nitlech, Managing Partner at Iris.
PopSnk was founded by Benjamin Djidi, a former senior engineering manager at Sixt and senior engineer at Amazon in Seattle, Cambridge and Luxembourg, where he contributed to the development of Alexa and Data & Analytics activities, and Alexandre Colalla, CTO, who passed by Prima, ManiReul.com, Quable and several Deeptech startups.
PopSnk announces a fundraising of 3 million euros in the SEED carried out by IRIS, with the participation of Xange, Seedcamp, irregular expressions and several business angels. The company plans to double its workforce, accelerate the development of its platform and extend its presence in Europe and North America.
