Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Resolve AI was founded in early 2024 by Spiros Xanthos (CEO) and Mayank Agarwal (CTO), longtime collaborators who met roughly 20 years earlier in graduate school at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and have worked together since 2012. The two are co-creators of the OpenTelemetry open-source observability standard and previously co-founded Omnition, an observability startup acquired by Splunk in 2019; Resolve AI's own About page also references 'two successful exits to Splunk and VMware,' though only the Splunk/Omnition acquisition is independently corroborated (by TechCrunch). At Splunk, Xanthos led Splunk Observability as GM and Agarwal served as its Chief Architect. The company's About page notes this is 'the third time five of our founding team members are working together,' suggesting a broader founding team beyond the two publicly credited co-founders.

Resolve AI emerged from stealth publicly on September 24, 2024, simultaneously announcing a $35 million Seed round led by Greylock partner Saam Motamedi, with participation from John Vrionis at Unusual Ventures and a large group of individual/angel investors described as 'AI and technology pioneers' — including Jeff Dean (Google), Fei-Fei Li (Stanford), Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn), Thomas Dohmke (former GitHub CEO), Matt Garman (AWS CEO), Jeff Lawson (Twilio founder), Eric Glyman (Ramp), Amjad Masad (Replit), Srinivas Narayanan (OpenAI), Sridhar Ramaswamy (Snowflake CEO), and others. The company's first product, described as an 'AI Production Engineer,' automated on-call incident troubleshooting and remediation, targeting the operational burden (on-call, troubleshooting, infrastructure management) that Xanthos said caused 90% of his former Splunk SRE team to resign within six months.

Growth was rapid. By December 2025, TechCrunch reported (citing sources, not yet confirmed by the company) that Resolve AI was raising a Series A at a $1 billion headline valuation led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, noting the round might use a multi-tranche structure that could put the 'blended' valuation lower; TechCrunch also reported the company's ARR at roughly $4 million at that time. On February 2/4, 2026, Resolve AI and Lightspeed confirmed a $125 million Series A at a $1 billion (unicorn) valuation, with pro-rata-or-above participation from existing investors Greylock, Unusual Ventures, Artisanal (Ventures), and A*; the company said this brought total funding to 'more than $150M.' A Resolve AI spokesperson told TechCrunch the full round was priced at a flat $1B (denying the multi-tranche characterization). Key namable investor partners as of the Series A: Sebastian Duesterhoeft and Raviraj Jain (Lightspeed), Saam Motamedi and Corinne Riley (Greylock), John Vrionis (Unusual Ventures), and Andy Price (Artisanal).

Business model

B2B SaaS / enterprise software. Sells an agentic AI platform that engineering and SRE teams deploy inside their production environments (via Slack, Microsoft Teams, terminal, MCP/API integrations) to automate on-call, incident response, and operational tasks.

Enterprise subscription/contract pricing (build cost calculator and custom pricing referenced on site); sold to engineering organizations at large technology, financial services, and consumer companies. Reported ARR was approximately $4 million as of December 2025 per TechCrunch sources (unconfirmed by the company).

Profile (continued)

On April 16, 2026, Resolve AI announced a $40 million Series A Extension led by DST Global (Rahul Mehta, co-founder and managing partner) and Salesforce Ventures (Zak Kokosa, principal), at a new $1.5 billion valuation, bringing total funding to 'more than $190 million' just 18 months after emerging from stealth. Alongside the raise, the company launched Resolve AI Labs, an applied-AI research effort focused on domain-specific models, evaluation systems, simulated/replay environments, and multi-agent orchestration for production operations, led by newly hired Chief AI Scientist Dhruv Mahajan (previously at Meta, where he led post-training for large-scale Llama models). Forbes covered the milestone under the headline referencing a '$1.5 billion AI startup.'

On August 17, 2026, Resolve AI announced the appointment of Jason Forget as President and founding Chief Revenue Officer, tasked with scaling the go-to-market organization; Forget was previously President and CRO at Cockroach Labs and has scaled multiple enterprise software companies from under $1M to $350M+ in ARR (MBA, Bentley University; BS finance/marketing, Northeastern University). Other senior team members publicly identified via company blog posts include Brooke Daniels (Head of Enterprise & Partnerships, ex-McKinsey Partner, previously worked with Xanthos at ezhome) and Bharath Gowda (Head of Marketing, previously in product/marketing leadership at Databricks).

Resolve AI's named enterprise customers, evidenced via dedicated case-study pages and quoted executives, include Salesforce (Meir Amiel, Chief Trust and Infrastructure Officer / President), DoorDash (Shahrooz Ansari, Sr. Director of Engineering; Alex Danilychev, Jr Engineering Manager), Coinbase (Angelo Marletta, Software Engineer), Zscaler (Chris Umbel, AI SRE Lead), MSCI (Sandeep Contractor, Managing Director of Engineering), Gametime (Jeff Aronhalt, Principal Software Engineer), and Blueground (Andreas Gounaris, Director of Engineering). Reported outcomes include an 87% reduction in incident-investigation time for DoorDash, a 72% faster root-cause identification for Coinbase, and a 30% reduction in engineers required per incident for Zscaler.

Competitively, Resolve AI operates in the emerging 'AI SRE' / AI-for-production category. TechCrunch explicitly named Sequoia-backed Traversal as another startup applying AI to identify and resolve system outages in this space. The company positions itself against both general-purpose LLM wrappers and traditional runbook/automation tools, arguing neither can perform the multi-step causal reasoning required for production incident investigation. Resolve AI also touts SOC 2 Type II certification (in progress/target) and GDPR/HIPAA compliance capabilities as part of its enterprise security posture.

Data-quality notes: (1) The company's own blog CMS shows an anomalous datePublished of 2026-07-17 on both the original 'Introducing Resolve AI' launch post and the 'Resolve AI raises $125M Series A' post, which conflicts with the JSON-LD structured-data 'datePublished' fields recovered directly from each page (2024-09-24 for the launch/seed post and 2026-02-02 for the Series A post, respectively) and with corroborating TechCrunch dates; this narrative uses the structured-data and TechCrunch dates as more reliable. (2) The 'Introducing Resolve AI Labs' blog post carries a datePublished of 2026-04-07, nine days before the associated press release dated April 16, 2026 — likely reflects an internal draft/preview timestamp rather than the public announcement date; the April 16, 2026 press-release date is used as authoritative. (3) Total funding is described by the company as 'more than $150M' after the Series A and 'more than $190M' after the Series A Extension; the arithmetic sum of disclosed round sizes ($35M + $125M + $40M) is $200M, suggesting the company's public figures are conservative/rounded-down approximations rather than precise sums.
