As enterprises accelerate artificial intelligence adoption, one challenge continues to limit progress long before models are trained or applications are deployed. Vast amounts of valuable business information remain fragmented across on premises infrastructure, cloud environments, and edge systems, with much of it never analysed or even accessed. This growing volume of unstructured and inactive data is creating operational inefficiencies while preventing organisations from fully benefiting from AI driven innovation. Sofia based Tiger Technology is addressing this challenge by developing intelligent hybrid data infrastructure that enables enterprises to access, protect, and activate critical information without replacing their existing systems. The company has now secured fresh investment to support the next stage of its international growth.
Tiger Technology has announced the initial closing of an €8.7 million Series A funding round led by TCEE Fund IV, advised by 3TS Capital Partners, with participation from TDJ, Endeavor Catalyst, Impetus, and existing investors.
The investment will strengthen the company’s global expansion strategy while accelerating product innovation and supporting the growing demand for AI ready enterprise data infrastructure.
Solving the Enterprise Data Challenge
Founded in 2004 by Alexander Lefterov, Tiger Technology develops file data services that help organisations manage mission critical information across on premises, cloud, and edge environments.
The company focuses on enterprises where continuous access to data is essential and operational downtime is not an option.
Its platform enables organisations to place, protect, and activate unstructured enterprise data while preserving existing technology investments and avoiding costly infrastructure replacement.
As businesses generate increasingly large volumes of digital information, efficient data management has become a strategic priority for organisations across multiple industries.
Unlocking the Value of Unstructured Data
According to Tiger Technology, a significant proportion of enterprise information remains stored on premises, while much of it exists as unstructured data that is rarely analysed or used.
This creates operational blind spots and limits the effectiveness of artificial intelligence initiatives that depend on high quality, accessible information.
The company believes organisations should not simply store data but actively make it available for analytics, automation, and modern AI applications.
Its technology enables businesses to unlock historical datasets while improving operational efficiency and reducing infrastructure complexity.
Tiger Bridge Connects Existing Infrastructure
At the centre of the company’s portfolio is Tiger Bridge, a software platform that operates as an intelligent control layer across existing storage environments.
Rather than replacing enterprise infrastructure, the platform integrates with both cloud and on premises systems to provide seamless access to information regardless of where it is stored.
This approach enables organisations to modernise their data environments while maintaining uninterrupted business operations.
By continuously managing data placement, protection, and accessibility, Tiger Bridge supports cloud migration, disaster recovery, regulatory compliance, and AI deployment within a single hybrid infrastructure strategy.
Supporting Mission Critical Industries
Tiger Technology currently manages more than 100 petabytes of enterprise data for customers operating across transportation, media, construction, government, and other mission critical sectors.
The company reports that its technology has delivered measurable operational improvements for customers, including significantly faster file restoration during large scale cloud migrations, substantial reductions in on premises storage requirements, and access to years of previously unused historical information for artificial intelligence analysis.
These capabilities have positioned the company as a trusted technology provider for organisations managing large volumes of business critical information.
Accelerating Global Expansion
The newly secured funding will enable Tiger Technology to strengthen its presence across the United States, Europe, and the Middle East while expanding its sales network, technology partnerships, and product portfolio.
The company also plans to continue developing AI ready data infrastructure that helps organisations maximise the value of existing information assets without disrupting current operations.
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly dependent on accessible, well governed enterprise data, Tiger Technology is positioning itself as an important enabler of digital transformation. By combining hybrid cloud capabilities with intelligent data management and seamless infrastructure integration, the company aims to help enterprises unlock hidden information, improve operational resilience, and prepare their data environments for the next generation of AI powered innovation.
