Resolve AI Hits $1B Valuation with $125M Series A

Resolve AI confirmed a $125 million Series A at a $1 billion valuation, and yes - that’s a unicorn on round one. The raise was led by Lightspeed with participation from Greylock, Unusual, Artisanal and A*. The startup builds AI that automates system reliability engineering, basically hunting and fixing outages so on‑call teams can sleep.**The backstory:**Resolve AI launched in early 2024, co‑founded by former Splunk execs Spiros Xanthos and Mayank Agarwal. Their last company, Omnition, sold to Splunk in 2019. Here are the quick hits:

• $125M Series A, $1B valuation, lead investor Lightspeed confirmed.
• Company denies tranche pricing, saying 100% of equity bought at $1B.
• Competitor landscape already has players like Sequoia‑backed Traversal - this is the “AI SRE” race.**Is it time to freak out?**Investors are pouring cash into AI that reduces toil. That’s sensible. Outages are expensive, and automation that actually resolves incidents would save money and reputations. A successful product here means fewer pagers, faster restores, and less midnight panic.

But hold your confetti. A $125M Series A and a billion‑dollar price tag is aggressive. The chatter about tranche pricing mattered because multiple‑price rounds can mask a lower blended valuation. Resolve says that didn’t happen. Take that claim at face value, but watch future financing rounds and cap tables - that’s where reality shows up.

So yes, this is exciting. And yes, it’s a bet. If Resolve’s AI reliably fixes outages, it’ll be worth every dollar. If not, it’ll be another example of AI hype outpacing product. Either way, your on‑call engineer just found a new reason to worry or celebrate.
