The US-based agentic artificial intelligence (AI) for production operations, NeuBird AI, has announced $19.3 million in an oversubscribed funding round headed by Temasek Holdings-backed deep tech venture capital firm Xora Innovation, a new investor.
NeuBird AI said in a statement that current investors Mayfield, StepStone Group, Prosperity7 Ventures, and M12, Microsoft’s venture fund, also contributed to the funding.
The money will be used by the company to expand accessibility for enterprise DevOps, site reliability engineering (SRE), and information technology (IT) operations teams, accelerate product innovation, and aggressively scale its global go-to-market initiatives. This is because businesses operating complex, multi-cloud infrastructure must move from reactive patching to proactive solutions.
“In the age of AI, software production environments are evolving in complexity at an unprecedented pace, resulting in exponential challenges in reliability and incident resolution,
“NeuBird’s production ops agent has demonstrated best-in-class results across accuracy, speed and token consumption across complex enterprise systems,” said Phil Inagaki, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer at Xora.
“Gou and Vinod have successfully built and scaled three enterprise infrastructure companies previously, and have lived the problems they are solving. We’re excited to partner with them as they become the critical intelligence layer powering reliability across modern digital infrastructure,” he added.
The funding comes after a number of achievements that highlight NeuBird AI’s quick enterprise adoption.
In an effort to further accelerate commercial growth, the company recently appointed Venkat Ramakrishnan, a former executive and leader at Everpure who assisted in scaling Portworx from Series A through its acquisition, as President and Chief Operating Officer.
“Enterprise IT, SRE and DevOps teams are under mounting pressure to maintain uptime, simplify incident management and innovate faster,
“However, modern infrastructure generates an unrelenting flood of alerts, logs and telemetry signals across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, and the tools most teams rely on still require engineers to manually correlate, investigate and remediate incidents. The result is alert fatigue, slower innovation and a disproportionate amount of skilled engineering time lost to troubleshooting,” said Gou Rao, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of NeuBird AI.
NeuBird AI’s co-founder and chief technology officer, Vinod Jayaraman, stated that the company’s goal with this funding is to enable more enterprise teams to use AI production operations agents more quickly and with less friction than in the past.
“We’re moving into a world where engineering teams need to prevent IT operations issues before they escalate, and NeuBird AI is how enterprises get there,” he added.
