incident.io raised $62M at a $400M valuation. Lead investor: Insight Partners (Thomas Krane). Continued support: Index Ventures, Point Nine Capital. Total funding to date: $96M+.
Use of funds: accelerating AI engineering investment, scaling teams in London and San Francisco, expanding go-to-market.
