Company profile
researched Aug 2026Deeptrace builds AI agents that investigate and remediate production alerts end-to-end for software engineering teams. When an alert fires, the system automatically triggers an investigation that cross-references logs, distributed traces, metrics and the application codebase, then returns an evidence-backed root cause with citations. The company states an average time to root cause of 2-3 minutes and describes the product as cutting mean time to resolution by 50%.
The platform includes alert intelligence (priority ranking by business impact, grouping of related alerts into single issues, root-cause context attached to each alert), a natural-language chat interface available in Slack or a web app for questions about the production system, and action capabilities such as auto-generated pull requests for fixes, runbook and documentation updates, and Linear ticket creation. Deeptrace maintains a continuously updated model of the customer's architecture — described as a living knowledge graph of infrastructure, services and dependencies — that it says improves with each investigation. It advertises 20+ integrations requiring no code changes, including GitHub, Datadog, Grafana, Notion, AWS CloudWatch, PagerDuty, Snowflake, PostHog, Groundcover, Linear, New Relic, ClickHouse, Sentry and BigQuery. The company positions the product as complementary to, rather than a replacement for, existing observability tooling. [0][3][7]
Founding story
Third-party coverage states the company (referred to as Deeptrace Labs, Inc.) was founded in 2025 by engineers with site reliability engineering backgrounds who had experienced managing production alerts and debugging complex systems, and that the concept arose from the need for a tool that could autonomously investigate and resolve alerts instead of manual triage; early adoption came from startups and engineering teams. This account is from a secondary aggregator and is not corroborated by the company's own site. [7]
Business model
B2B software sold to engineering organizations. Deeptrace publishes two commercial tiers: a Startup plan offered with a two-week trial covering up to 1,000 alerts and chats per month, unlimited users, a single workspace and a dedicated Slack support channel; and an Enterprise plan offered with a four-week trial, with investigation capacity sized to alert volume, flexible deployment (SaaS, hybrid or self-hosted), dedicated support and SLA, and custom integrations. Specific prices are not disclosed on the site. [0]
Subscription/plan-based access tiered by alert and chat volume and deployment model, with trials preceding paid engagement; list pricing is not published. [0]
Traction
Third-party profiles list a team of roughly 1-10 employees (one source states six, another states four) and a single $5.0M funding round. The website displays customer case studies and named testimonials from engineering leaders at Rain, Opendoor, Parafin and Traba, plus a quote attributed to the president of Y Combinator. Quantified product claims include 2-3 minute average time to root cause and a 50% reduction in MTTR. [0][3][6][7]
Latest developments
In March 2026 Deeptrace announced a $5.0M seed round, reported as led by Y Combinator and dated 17 March 2026 by one aggregator. Coverage states proceeds are intended for product development, expanding engineering and research teams, and broader market reach. The funding announcement is also promoted on the company homepage.

▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies
Market position
Positioned in the AI-for-incident-management / AIOps segment as an "AI SRE" layer that sits on top of, rather than replaces, existing observability tools such as Datadog, Grafana, New Relic and Sentry. Coverage frames the company as early-stage, with one seed round and a small team. [0][3][6][7]
Stated differentiators are end-to-end autonomous investigation of every alert rather than assisted triage; semantic understanding of code alongside telemetry; evidence-backed conclusions with citations; automatic generation of pull requests and documentation/ticket updates; a persistent, self-updating model of the customer's architecture that accumulates knowledge across investigations; and integration into existing tooling and Slack without code changes. [0][3][7]
Technology
The product applies AI reasoning across observability telemetry (logs, traces, metrics) and source code, described as semantic understanding of code, logs and infrastructure rather than keyword search. It automatically maps infrastructure, services and dependencies into a dynamic knowledge graph that updates as architecture changes, and it retains context from prior investigations. Outputs include evidence-backed root-cause conclusions with citations, natural-language answers grounded in customer data, and generated pull requests, runbook updates and Linear tickets. [0][3][7]
Go-to-market
Self-described inbound motion via the website with a "Book a demo" call to action and free trials (two weeks for startups, four weeks for enterprise), plus published customer case studies and testimonials from engineering leaders. Distribution is anchored in Slack, where alerts, root causes and chat interactions are delivered. Third-party coverage notes participation in the Y Combinator Fall 2025 batch. [0][7]
Software engineering, SRE, DevOps and on-call teams operating complex production systems; the site says customers range from fast-growing startups to Fortune 1000 enterprises, and testimonials cite Rain, Opendoor, Parafin and Traba. [0][7]
Geography
Headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States; third-party profiles list the company under United States. [6][7]
History
Founded in 2025 by Andy Lee and Sri Somasundaram. The company participated in the Y Combinator Fall 2025 batch and announced a $5.0M seed round in March 2026. [7]
Risks & controversies
Several unrelated organizations share the name: DeepTrace Technologies SRL, an Italian medical-imaging AI spin-off of IUSS Pavia, and Devo DeepTrace, a security threat-hunting product; these were excluded from this profile. Available reporting is thin and partly aggregator-generated, with inconsistent employee counts (four versus six) across sources, and product performance claims (2-3 minute root cause, 50% MTTR reduction) are vendor-stated and unverified.
