Gravitee is an event-native API management platform, founded in 2015, unifying APIs, events, and AI agent governance for enterprise customers including Michelin, Roche, and Blue Yonder.
Gravitee builds an event-native API management platform that brings synchronous and asynchronous APIs, events, and AI agents under a single governing framework. Founded in 2015 by four developers, the company has grown into a 101-200 person operation spanning Denver, London, and Lille, and was named a 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for API Management. Its platform centres on an event-native gateway, multi-gateway and multi-broker governance, and unified management for real-time protocols such as Kafka and WebSocket - the kind of distributed-systems work that rewards engineers of genuine depth.
The technical scope is unusually broad: API management, event streaming, real-time protocols, open-source infrastructure, and, increasingly, AI agent governance, framed as helping organisations govern intelligence in the age of agentic AI. Open source is not a marketing posture but the company's founding habit - 204+ GitHub repositories and a live community that shapes the product roadmap. Engineers therefore work in public, at scale, on problems spanning both request/response and event-driven architectures.
The commercial footing is firm: over $125m raised across multiple rounds, including a $60m Series C. Named enterprise customers include Michelin, Roche, and Blue Yonder, spanning manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and supply-chain software. The stated values - Passion, Hold Nothing Back, and Professionalism - describe a culture that pairs the credibility of an established market leader with the pace of a company still close to its engineering roots.
