NeuBird AI announced it has raised $19.3 million in an oversubscribed funding round to expand its agentic AI platform designed for enterprise production operations. The round was led by Xora Innovation, with participation from Mayfield, StepStone Group, Prosperity7 Ventures, and M12, Microsoft’s venture fund.
The company plans to use the funding to accelerate product innovation, expand global go-to-market efforts, and increase accessibility for enterprise DevOps, SRE, and IT operations teams. As organizations increasingly rely on complex, multi-cloud environments, NeuBird AI is positioning its platform to help shift teams from reactive incident management to proactive system optimization.
NeuBird AI’s core offering is an autonomous production operations agent that analyzes telemetry data, correlates signals, and delivers real-time root cause analysis and remediation. The platform aims to reduce the burden of manual troubleshooting, which remains a major challenge for engineering teams. According to company-cited research, engineers spend roughly 40% of their time managing incidents instead of building products, contributing to burnout and reduced innovation.
The company reports strong early traction since its product became generally available in December 2024. Customers have collectively resolved more than 1 million alerts, saved over $2 million in engineering hours, and achieved up to a 90% reduction in mean time to resolution.
NeuBird AI also introduced its next-generation engine, AI Falcon, which expands capabilities beyond incident response to include predictive risk detection and infrastructure cost optimization. The platform is designed to function as an always-on expert system, continuously learning and improving across enterprise environments.
In addition to product momentum, NeuBird AI has strengthened its ecosystem through partnerships and programs, including the AWS Generative AI Competency, the AWS Generative AI Accelerator, and the Microsoft for Startups Pegasus Program. These affiliations provide the company with access to enterprise customer networks across major cloud providers.
The company is led by co-founder and CEO Gou Rao and co-founder and CTO Vinod Jayaraman, who bring prior experience building and scaling enterprise infrastructure companies. NeuBird AI has also expanded its leadership team with the appointment of Venkat Ramakrishnan as President and COO to support its next phase of growth.
KEY QUOTES:
“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. 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.”
Phil Inagaki, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer, Xora Innovation
“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.”
“Every engineer we’ve talked to describes the same problem: they spend the majority of their time responding to incidents rather than building. This productivity loss is not sustainable. With this funding, we’re focused on putting AI production ops agents into the hands of more enterprise teams, faster and with lower friction than ever before. 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.”
Gou Rao, Co-founder and CEO, NeuBird AI; Vinod Jayaraman, Co-founder and CTO, NeuBird AI
“IT operations in modern production environments have outgrown traditional models. What excites us is how NeuBird is reimagining production operations by deploying AI agents that work alongside engineers to prevent, resolve and optimize systems in real time. We had conviction in Gou and Vinod’s vision from inception, and the customer ROI they’re delivering is a strong signal they’re building something enduring in the production operations agent category.”
Navin Chaddha, Managing Partner, Mayfield
“When we first invested in NeuBird AI, we saw a team that understood what modern IT and production operations require—reliability at scale and the ability to diagnose, resolve and continuously optimize systems in real time. NeuBird has turned that vision into an enterprise-grade agent operating alongside engineers in live environments, and their traction since launch reinforces why we continue to back this team.”
Michelle Gonzalez, CVP and Global Head of M12, Microsoft’s Venture Fund
“Enterprise infrastructure complexity is accelerating, and teams need a new approach to production operations. NeuBird AI stands out for the depth of their domain expertise and what they’ve built to help SRE, DevOps and platform engineering teams reclaim time lost to troubleshooting. Their production operations agent enables teams to prevent issues, resolve incidents faster and continuously optimize systems. That’s why we’re excited to continue investing in this team.”
Abhishek Shukla, Managing Director, Prosperity7 Ventures US
“In its first year, NeuBird AI has done what we want to see from a portfolio company. The team has built an enterprise-grade AI agent for production operations, deployed it in live environments and delivered measurable results across industries. Their execution reflects the strength of the technology and the scale of the opportunity, and we look forward to continuing to invest in their growth.”
