Empirik, a company incubated by Sequoia Capital, has been announced as an independent entity, having raised $21 million in seed funding from Sequoia, Canapi, and Alumni Ventures.

  • Background: Before joining Sequoia in 2020, Avon Puri and Sudheer Dhurjati recognized the potential of large language models to proactively address infrastructure challenges, leading to the development of Empirik.
  • Empirik's Role: Described as an autonomous "traffic cop," Empirik tracks infrastructure changes to avert tech outages, allowing DevOps teams to prioritize more complex tasks.
  • Leadership: Earlier this year, Kartik Chandrayana was recruited as CEO, previously having roles at Quantum Metric and Salesforce.
  • Early Success: Empirik has already secured diverse clients, including S&P Global and Guardant Health.
  • Vision: Similar to Cursor and Claude Code's impact on software developers, Empirik automates tasks for infrastructure engineers, aiming to complement existing AI SRE platforms like Resolve.
