Bergen-based startup Tower, founded by Serhii Sokolenko and Brad Heller, has raised €5.5 million ($6.4 million) in a pre-seed and seed round, backed by investors including Speedinvest and DIG Ventures, with angel participation from some of the most prominent names in the data infrastructure world. The startup aims to be the platform where AI-generated data pipelines go to work, rather than the code they produce. It is designed to handle the 'last mile' of AI-assisted development: the testing, debug, delivery to production, and ongoing operation of AI generated code. Tower brings storage and compute onto a single platform built around the Apache Iceberg open table format. The platform also supports AI agents feeding on fresh, company-specific data rather than public internet archives.
