PagerDuty, a San Francisco, CA-based provider of IT alerting and incident management software, secured $10.7m in Series A funding.
The round was led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from the Webb Investment Network (WIN), Opscode founder Jesse Robbins and existing seed investors Harrison Metal, Baseline Ventures and Ignition Partners.
