Observo AI raised $15 million in a seed funding round led by Felicis and Lightspeed Venture Partners.
By combining advanced machine learning with agentic AI that can make decisions, learn, and dynamically adapt to changing data environments, Observo AI optimizes data pipelines to help enterprises process the explosion of AI-generated data more efficiently, securely, and cost-effectively. This enables enterprises to reduce data processing costs by over 50% while improving detection accuracy and speeding up incident resolution by more than 40%.
Founders Gurjeet Arora and Ricky Arora, from Rubrik, came up with the idea for Observo AI when they applied their deep expertise in AI and security to solve the rapidly growing data problem. "Observo uses LLMs and Agentic AI to revolutionize observability and security," said Gurjeet Arora, co-founder and CEO. "Our platform automates routine tasks, highlights key insights, and lets teams focus on preventing breaches and ensuring reliability."
The adoption of AI has introduced a unique paradox. While AI agents drive unprecedented innovation, they simultaneously produce vast quantities of observability and operational data that exceed the capacity of traditional tools to manage effectively. Observo AI tackles this challenge with an AI-first architecture, fundamentally transforming how security and observability data are ingested, processed, analyzed, and prioritized.
At its core, Observo AI's agentic platform continuously evolves its understanding of data patterns, automatically optimizing data pipelines in real-time as threats and anomalies emerge. By leveraging ML and LLMs, Observo AI filters through terabytes of noisy, unstructured data, extracting only the most critical signals for incident detection and response. The platform's autonomous capabilities enable it to anticipate potential data processing bottlenecks, proactively adjust filtering rules, and eliminate redundant data streams without human intervention.
“Every new AI agent, application, and model generates exponentially more data, and the result is chaos for DevOps and security teams,” said Jake Storm, General Partner at Felicis. “Observo AI’s platform applies ML and LLM-driven automation to cut through the noise and deliver actionable insights—precisely the kind of innovation needed to secure the AI-powered enterprise.”
Guru Chahal, Partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners, added, “Observo AI’s use of Agentic AI with streaming observability creates a powerful system that constantly learns and improves, making data pipelines efficient and intelligent. This is game-changing technology for enterprises grappling with the data challenges of observability and security infra.”

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
