WunderGraph secures $7.5M in funding to scale open-source GraphQL
WunderGraph, the creator of Cosmo, a widely adopted open-source GraphQL Federation solution, announced it has raised $7.5 million in Series A funding, enabling the company to accelerate its mission to provide seamless, scalable API Management for major consumer platforms while expanding its managed service offerings.
The funding round was led by Karma Ventures, eBay Ventures, and Aspenwood Ventures.
"APIs run the world’s biggest platforms, but at scale, they can turn into bottlenecks. WunderGraph cuts through the complexity—it’s efficient, scalable, and open. World-leading customer interest confirms its potential to redefine how modern applications are built. We’re excited to partner with the WunderGraph team as they set a new standard for the industry,” said Tommi Uhari, partner at Karma Ventures.
While existing GraphQL tools provide some relief, enterprise customers are increasingly frustrated with vendor lock-in, high costs, tool complexity, and proprietary technologies that limit flexibility and strain budgets, according to the company.
WunderGraph solves these problems with Cosmo, an open-source GraphQL Federation solution that provides comprehensive, full-lifecycle API management.
Cosmo integrates essential features such as a schema registry, composition checks, analytics, metrics, tracing, and routing into a single package, enabling seamless management of both monolithic and federated GraphQL APIs.
Licensed under Apache 2.0, Cosmo allows for flexible deployment options, including 100% on-premises setups or utilizing WunderGraph’s managed services, ensuring no vendor lock-in. This robust platform allows Platform Engineering teams to efficiently build, manage, and scale their GraphQL architectures.
“Open-source is the future of API management, and enterprises are demanding transparency, flexibility, and control,” said Stefan Avram, co-founder and chief customer officer of WunderGraph. “We’re building the essential plumbing for the world’s biggest platforms, and this funding allows us to scale while keeping our commitment to open-source development.”
