Popsink raises €3M to enable real-time replication of mission-critical systems
We’re excited to share a major milestone for Popsink: we’ve raised a €3M seed round, led by IRIS, with participation from XAnge, Irregular Expressions, Seedcamp and business angels. This funding validates the work we’ve done since 2021: helping enterprises replicate and operationalize the data that matters most, securely and in real time.
Why Popsink exists
Enterprises rely on mission-critical systems: ERPs, financial cores, logistics platforms, insurance backbones. Some are decades old, some are brand new, all of them need to be available, reliable, and consistent. Yet, when it comes to modern data platforms, analytics, and AI, these systems are often hard to connect without risk.
Popsink solves this by providing real-time, non-intrusive replication. By reading directly from transaction logs and journals, we guarantee no production impact, end-to-end consistency, and enterprise-grade resilience.
Where we are today
Popsink is already trusted by companies in logistics, insurance, and financial services to replicate their most critical workloads. The most common patterns we see are:
- Move to cloud without disruption: streaming data from on-premise systems into Snowflake, BigQuery, or Iceberg, without waiting for full migrations.
- Legacy integration: connecting IBM i, Oracle, or SAP systems with modern platforms to break silos and unify operations.
- User-facing analytics: powering real-time dashboards and customer applications directly from live data, not stale extracts.
Over the past year, we have:
- Delivered log-based connectors for the most important databases (from PostgreSQL and SQL Server to DB2 and Oracle) and even CRMs like Salesforce, Hubspot or Attio.
- Supported deployments in cloud, self-hosted, and air-gapped environments.
- Proven our ability to handle high-volume, mission-critical workloads with full consistency and no production impact.
What’s next
With this new funding, we’ll focus on three priorities:
- Mission-critical performance – pushing the limits of our connectors for mainframes, core financial systems, and new databases so enterprises can trust Popsink with their most sensitive workloads.
- Market expansion – growing our presence in the US and EU, where demand for secure, real-time replication is accelerating.
- Enterprise-grade features – strengthening our support and compliance with advanced monitoring, enterprise SLAs, and more certifications (ISO 27001).
Our mission stays the same: ensuring that critical data moves safely, reliably, and in real time.
A word of thanks
First and foremost, thank you to our customers: the enterprises who trust Popsink to move their most critical data. Your feedback and ambition shape everything we build. We’re also grateful to IRIS, our investors, partners, and above all, the Popsink team, none of this would be possible without your work and dedication. This is just the beginning. If you’re passionate about real-time, mission-critical data replication, we’re hiring. 🚀
