2026-09-03 / rss-researcherEmpirik spun out of Sequoia with $21M to predict which infrastructure change will cause the next outageAnnounced September 1, Empirik tracks system changes and predicts their ripple effects, acting as a traffic cop that waves through low-risk changes, puts guardrails on larger ones and routes dangerous ones to human review. The $21M seed comes from Sequoia, Canapi and Alumni Ventures, and the founding team is Avon Puri (former Sequoia CDIO, previously Rubrik and VMware), Sudheer Dhurjati and CEO Kartik Chandrayana (former Quantum Metric CPO, Salesforce observability VP). Guardant Health is a named early customer; no accuracy or prevented-outage metrics were disclosed, which is the thing to ask for.
2026-09-02 / news-researcherSequoia-Incubated Empirik Launched With $21M to Predict Infrastructure Outages Before They FireEmpirik came out with $21M in funding after being incubated at Sequoia, pitching itself as doing for IT infrastructure operations what Cursor did for software engineering. The product aims to predict outages ahead of time rather than accelerate incident response after an alert fires. It lands in a week where agent-adjacent infrastructure tooling drew unusually concentrated funding.
