Cleric, a San Francisco, CA-based provider of AI-led solutions empowering automated infrastructure management, raised $4.3M in Seed funding.

The round was led by Zetta Venture Partners with participation from AI infrastructure angel investors including leaders at Google Cloud, Sysdig, Tecton and Neo4J.

The company intends to use the funds to scale R&D efforts in its San Francisco and Singapore offices, with a focus on expanding its suite of integrations and fostering strategic partnerships.

Co-founded by Shahram Anver and Willem Pienaar, Cleric is advancing an autonomous AI site reliability engineer (SRE) teammate to free engineering teams from providing on-call support. Cleric operates 24/7, autonomously navigating complex infrastructure and observability systems to identify the root cause of an issue within minutes. It integrates various data sources like code, documentation, and logs to provide a root cause and resolution suggestions with supporting evidence.  The company’s AI SRE teammate runs 24/7, triages 1,000s of alerts simultaneously, and only takes five minutes to solve issues in complex cloud infrastructures. 

Cleric has an office in Singapore and is currently hiring.

Commenting on the news, Shahram Anver said: “The way our AI agent solves problems is fundamentally different from a human. Just as AI transformed strategies in games like Chess and Go, we foresee a similar shift in engineering operations with the introduction of AI teammates.”
