Traversal is an AI SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) platform that autonomously triages alerts, performs root-cause analysis, and helps prevent production incidents across an enterprise's entire observability stack. Founded in 2023 by AI researchers from MIT, Columbia, Berkeley, and Cornell and based in New York City, Traversal created the "AI SRE" category using causal machine learning and agentic AI. Its V1 Sessions API and hosted MCP server let teams launch investigations programmatically and from AI clients (Claude, Cursor, and others). Backed by Sequoia and Kleiner Perkins (~$53M raised).
