The race to put an AI copilot in every developer tool is heating up, and the observability space just got a fresh injection of capital. Dash0 announced today it has closed a $35 million Series A round to build what it calls the first "AI-native observability platform."
The round was co-led by existing investors Accel and Cherry Ventures, with DIG Ventures also participating, signaling strong insider confidence in the nine-month-old company. Dash0 is tackling a problem familiar to any engineer: modern monitoring systems are incredibly noisy, complex, and expensive. The constant flood of alerts from platforms like Datadog or Splunk often leads to "alert fatigue," where critical signals get lost in the chaos.
From Insights to Action
Dash0’s answer isn’t just another dashboard. At the core of its platform is Agent0, an SRE AI agent designed to act as a copilot for developers and operators. The goal is to shift observability from a passive, insight-generating tool to an active, problem-solving partner. According to the company, Agent0 helps engineers fix application and infrastructure issues directly and can automate the creation of artifacts like new alerts and pipeline rules.
This AI agent is built on the company's SIFT framework (Spam filter, Ingest, Filter, Triage), a system already used by its 270+ customers to cut through the noise and surface root causes. "Observability today is broken," said Mirko Novakovic, Founder & CEO of Dash0, in a statement. "With Agent0, we put an AI-native copilot at the heart of observability — a system that can act on insights and help users resolve issues in real time."
This move places Dash0 directly in the path of established giants by betting that an AI-native approach can fundamentally change the workflow. Instead of just presenting data, Agent0 aims to interpret it and recommend actions. For engineering teams buried in technical debt and operational toil, that’s a powerful proposition. As noted by Harry Nelis, Partner at Accel, the vision for Agent0 positions Dash0 "to become a leader in the next generation of observability." The new funding will be used to accelerate growth in the US and Europe and to continue developing the AI agent.
