Dapple, a New York-based provider of Enterprise OS Cloud, has raised $30M in seed funding led by The Raptor Group and Ion Pacific. The company builds dedicated single-tenant AI infrastructure that sits between public cloud and private data centers, aggregating GPU supply and deploying purpose-built GPU data centers in 3-9 months with full operations via its Control Plane. The capital will scale deployments for regulated enterprises.
Enterprise Shift to Private AI Clouds
The timing aligns with enterprises moving production AI inference workloads to private clouds for compliance and data residency. Broadcom's 2026 outlook shows 56% of enterprises running or planning production AI inference on private cloud. CoreWeave raised over $20B in capital in 2026. Dapple's approach targets the governance gap that general GPU clouds leave unaddressed for banks, healthcare, and government.
Regulated Sectors Face Infrastructure Gaps
Regulated enterprises encounter 18-36 month deployment delays from hyperscalers and lack governance in bare-metal neoclouds. Dapple secured over $100M in contracted deployments across two continents within five months of launch, achieving 91-94% GPU utilization on live production workloads.
Single-Tenant Architecture with Azure Integration
Dapple's Enterprise OS Cloud delivers physical isolation, in-country boundaries, and native integration with Microsoft Azure control planes while enforcing compliance. This differs from CoreWeave's broader hyperscale focus or Crusoe's energy-efficiency emphasis by prioritizing single-tenancy and structural compliance for regulated users.
"For years, the enterprises with the most to deploy on AI had no good place to run it." — Tricia Martinez, CEO
Mission Capital Validates Early Traction
The Raptor Group, a family office with tech and fintech focus, and Ion Pacific, specializing in venture-stage technology and structured secondaries, led the round. Their backing signals conviction in the traction-first model where $100M contracts preceded the raise.
Cloud AI Market Expands Rapidly
The cloud AI market is projected to grow from $102B in 2025 to $780B by 2034 at 39.3% CAGR. Dapple positions itself in the enterprise AI infrastructure subset, where sovereign and private cloud demand is rising due to data privacy laws and mission-critical workloads.
"Dapple did the rare thing. It proved the category in production before it raised funds to scale." — Jim Pallotta, Raptor Group
