Rootly

Rootly, a San Francisco CA-based provider of a technical incident management platform, raised $3.2m in funding.

The round was led by XYZ Venture Capital, 8VC and Y Combinator with participation from Bart Mediratta, Jason Warner, CTO of GitHub; John Lilly, former partner at Greylock Partners; and Max Mullen.

The company intends to use the funds to expand the team and accelerate product development to add innovative features and extend its product suite.

Led by Quentin Rousseau, CEO, and JJ Tang, COO, Rootly provides an incident management platform and a Slackbot designed to help companies resolve incidents faster by automating manual admin tasks and providing insight to prevent them in the future.

With Rootly, an alert is generated from PagerDuty or customer support and an incident is declared. The platform then allows team members to respond, communicate and quickly resolve the incident directly from Slack. Once the problem is fixed, the system provides retrospectives and actionable insights to keep similar incidents from happening in the future.
