Today, I am delighted to share with you that we have raised $16 Million in seed funding to drive the future of engineering operations. The round was led by SignalFire, Salesforce Ventures, and Global Founders Capital with participation from seasoned tech luminaries including Maynard Webb, Frederic Kerrest, Adam Gross, and many more.

At Faros AI, we are on a mission to provide engineering teams with unprecedented visibility and insight into their operations across engineering velocity, program management, onboarding, compliance, cost optimization, and more.

We like to call our platform “The Connected Engineering Operations Platform” for a reason. Faros AI connects the dots across all your data sources, magically bringing all operational data in one place to give leaders a single-pane view of their entire software development life cycle.

To learn more about the platform and its genesis, please check out this post by my co-founder Shubha Nabar.

Every revolution was first a thought

It takes a village to make a dent in the universe, and our awesome team of two-dozen engineers has been working on transforming engineering operations to become more data-driven for the past two years. We have been fortunate to partner with leading companies like Box, Coursera, GoFundMe, and many more to help to clarify the vision of what data-driven engineering teams should look like.

Today, we make that work available to everyone with our new open-source community edition, which is built on the same foundation that powers our enterprise platform. We would love to get your thoughts on our platform and have you join our journey.
