Autonomous SRE Cuts Firefighting
- Resolve AI automates SRE tasks by identifying, diagnosing, and resolving production issues in real time.
- This reduces downtime and lets engineering teams focus on building new features instead of firefighting.
Tranche Funding Inflates Headline Valuation
- The Series A used a multi‑tranche structure where later investors bought in at higher valuations.
- This lets startups claim a $1B valuation while rewarding early investors with lower-entry terms.
Founders With Splunk Track Record
