NeuBird AI, the US-based agentic artificial intelligence (AI) for production operations, has announced $19.3 million in an oversubscribed funding round led by new investor Xora Innovation, a Singapore-based deep tech venture capital firm backed by Temasek Holdings.
The funding also saw participation from existing investors Mayfield, StepStone Group, Prosperity7 Ventures and M12, Microsoft’s venture fund, NeuBird AI said in a statement on Monday.
The company will use the capital to accelerate product innovation, aggressively scale its global go-to-market efforts and expand accessibility for enterprise DevOps, site reliability engineering (SRE) and information technology (IT) operations teams, as enterprises running complex, multi-cloud infrastructure need to shift focus from reactive patching to proactive resolutions.
“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,” said Phil Inagaki, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer at Xora.
“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,” he added.
The funding follows a series of milestones that underscore NeuBird AI’s rapid enterprise traction.
The company recently appointed Venkat Ramakrishnan, a former Everpure executive and leader who helped scale Portworx from Series A through its acquisition, as President and Chief Operating Officer to further accelerate commercial growth.
“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,” said Gou Rao, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of NeuBird AI.
Vinod Jayaraman, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of NeuBird AI said that with this funding, the firm is 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,” he added.
Michelle Gonzalez, Corporate Vice Presiden and Global Head of M12, Microsoft’s venture fund said the firm backed NeuBird AI early on due to the team’s strong understanding of modern IT and production needs, particularly in delivering reliability at scale and enabling real-time system optimization.
She said the company has since translated that vision into an enterprise-grade solution that works alongside engineers in live environments, adding that its traction since launch has reinforced M12’s confidence in continuing to support the team.
