🌟 SEED OF THE WEEK: Traversal ($48M)
→Who They Are: Traversal is an AI startup founded by a team of professors and researchers from institutions like MIT, Columbia, and Cornell, with professional experience at firms including Amazon Core AI, Microsoft Research, and Citadel Securities.
→What They Do: Traversal is building an AI Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) agent designed to autonomously troubleshoot, resolve, and even prevent complex production incidents for large enterprises. The platform acts as a first line of defense, learning a company's systems to quickly identify the root cause of high-impact outages that could otherwise take engineering teams hours or days to solve.
→Why it matters (our take): In a market where engineering burnout and the cost of downtime are major pain points, Traversal is moving beyond simple alert automation to tackle the most complex and costly "snowflake" incidents that traditional tools struggle with.
