NeuBird founders Goutham Rao and Vinod Jayaraman came from PortWorx, a cloud native storage solution they eventually sold to PureStorage in 2019 for $370 million. When they went looking for their next startup challenge last year, they saw an opportunity to combine their cloud native knowledge, especially around IT operations, with the burgeoning area of generative AI. Rao, the CEO, says that while the cloud native community has done a good job at solving a lot of difficult problems, it has created increasing levels of complexity along the way. “We’ve done an incredible job as a community over the past 10 plus years building cloud native architectures with service oriented designs. At the same time, large language models were beginning to mature, so the founders decided to put them to work on the problem.
