A consortium of investors including Amplify Partners, Storm Ventures, Battery Ventures, Scale Venture Partners, Sunil Dhaliwal, and Ariel Tseitlin led a $18m Series A round in System Initiative. “The DevOps pioneers aspired to bring world-class agility, reliability, and security to everyone in the industry. Unfortunately, the current implementations leave most organizations stuck in the mediocre middle, a seemingly insurmountable distance from our shared aspirations. System Initiative was born from the recognition that we must be willing to rebuild DevOps from the ground up, rather than stitching together various tools across complex and lengthy pipelines, if we want to improve practitioners’ lives and better the outcomes for the industry," Adam Jacob, System Initiative CEO and Co-Founder.
