Resolve AI, a pioneering startup focused on automating system reliability engineering (SRE) tasks, particularly in troubleshooting system failures, has successfully secured $125 million in Series A funding, achieving a valuation of $1 billion.
This funding round was spearheaded by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with contributions from existing investors such as Greylock Partners, Unusual Ventures, Artisanal Ventures, and A*.
The announcement substantiates TechCrunch’s December report indicating that the startup was seeking capital at a billion-dollar valuation, led by Lightspeed.
Sources informed TechCrunch at the time that the funding round might involve multiple tranches at varying prices, which could potentially lead to an actual blended valuation below $1 billion. However, a spokesperson for Resolve refuted these claims, stating that 100% of the equity was acquired at the stated valuation of $1 billion.
As noted in our previous coverage, this type of structure enables certain investors, often the lead investor, to obtain a larger portion of equity at a reduced price.
Resolve was co-founded in early 2024 by former Splunk executives Spiros Xanthos and Mayank Agarwal, whose previous startup, Omnition, was acquired by Splunk in 2019.
Another startup leveraging AI to detect and address system outages is Traversal, which is backed by Sequoia. This nascent sector is referred to as AI SRE.
