When Damien Garros left his role at Roblox—where infrastructure sprawl had become something of an occupational hazard—he was convinced there had to be a better way to manage the chaos of modern infrastructure data. That conviction has now turned into a $14 million bet.
OpsMill, the Paris-based startup Garros co-founded in 2023, announced the Series A round on May 7, 2026. IRIS Capital led the financing, with Benhamou Global Ventures joining alongside existing backers Serena and Partech. (French outlets pegged the same round at €12 million, which tracks with recent exchange rates.)
The money will fuel what might sound like a deceptively simple idea: applying Git-like version control—the kind developers use every day—to infrastructure data. But anyone who has worked in DevOps knows the problem OpsMill is trying to solve is anything but simple.
Infrastructure's Version Control Problem
Infrahub, the platform OpsMill has built, positions itself as a "single source of truth" for infrastructure. Think of it as trying to unify all the fragmented bits of data—server configs, network topology, business logic, deployment artifacts—into one coherent, version-controlled system.
The platform uses a graph-based, schema-first architecture. More importantly for the teams using it, Infrahub brings familiar developer workflows into infrastructure management: branching, peer review, CI validation. The kind of guardrails that prevent someone from pushing a breaking change to production at 4 p.m. on a Friday.
Data flows out through a GraphQL API and generates artifacts that feed into deployment pipelines. OpsMill offers an open-source Community edition—available on GitHub, naturally—alongside a paid Enterprise tier that launched in November 2025.
Who's Actually Using This?
According to IRIS Capital's investment materials, Infrahub has drawn users from TikTok's open-source community, which is notable if not exactly verifiable at scale. The company also claims enterprise deployments across retail, insurance, manufacturing, and fintech in Europe and North America—though these claims come from company-provided sources.
The most concrete example comes from Eurofiber, a European fiber network operator. A vendor-provided case study published in February 2026 describes how the company allegedly slashed service deployment times from five days down to 15 minutes. That's the kind of efficiency gain that, if replicable, would certainly justify the attention.
Whether those results translate across different infrastructure environments remains an open question. Then again, that's what Series A capital is for: figuring out if early wins can scale.
Crowded Territory, Familiar Faces
IRIS Capital frames the opportunity in ambitious terms: an AIOps and related market worth roughly $220 billion, with the firm projecting that enterprise demand for network automation has tripled since 2023. Big numbers, though they encompass a lot of adjacent categories.
The more immediate comparison points are infrastructure source-of-truth tools like NetBox and Nautobot—both of which shared panel space with similar platforms at a NANOG conference in early 2024. OpsMill is entering a space with established players, but the company argues its version-control approach offers something fundamentally different.
Garros brings a pedigree that should resonate with infrastructure teams: stints at Juniper, Roblox, and Network to Code. Karen Gallantry, who joined as co-founder and COO in September 2025, previously worked at VMware, Okta, and mParticle. Co-founder Raphael Maunier, who sits on the board, has entrepreneurial experience from co-founding France-IX.
The early money came from OVNI Capital in a 2023 pre-seed round, with support from Kima Ventures and Better Angle. As of May, the team was listed at somewhere between 11 and 50 employees—a range that suggests the company is still in hiring mode. OpsMill maintains offices in Paris and London.
What Comes Next
OpsMill says it will channel the new capital into expanding its engineering and product teams, with particular emphasis on data-centric AIOps capabilities. Translation: adding intelligence layers on top of the version control foundation.
The open-source approach gives OpsMill a distribution advantage—developers can kick the tires without sales calls—while the enterprise tier provides a monetization path. It's the classic freemium playbook, though executing it in infrastructure software has proven tricky for more than a few startups.
For now, OpsMill is placing its bet that infrastructure teams are ready to embrace version control the same way developers did two decades ago. Whether that analogy holds—and whether $14 million is enough runway to prove it—will likely become clear in the next 18 to 24 months.
