BigPanda

@bigpanda acquires @velocitytechhq! After five incredible years building Velocity, I’m thrilled to share that Velocity is joining BigPanda to accelerate a shared vision of automating incident response at scale. From day one, we focused on solving our customers’ toughest challenges. Through rapid feedback loops with our design partners, we uncovered a clear opportunity: helping R&D and operations teams reduce MTTR and respond to incidents faster. After meeting @AssafResnick, BigPanda’s Co-Founder and CEO, it was immediately clear that our technologies and missions aligned. By combining Velocity’s agentic incident response with BigPanda’s agentic ITOps strategy, enterprise-scale platform, and rich operational data, we can eliminate repetitive work and deliver smarter L1 automation for customers worldwide. As part of the acquisition, the Velocity team will be integrated into the AI Detection and Response product line, of which I will be the leader, continuing our mission to automate human-driven incident workflows. To our investors - @JudahTaub3 (@HetzVentures), @johnelton (@greycroftvc), @lonnej (@insightpartners), and @DaniAronovitz (@insightpartners), along with our incredible angel investors and advisors: you’ve been supportive from day zero and through every stage of Velocity’s journey. I couldn’t have asked for better partners to build Velocity with. To our design partners and customers - your feedback and trust have been instrumental in Velocity’s journey, helped us pivot toward what truly mattered. To the Velocity team, past and present, thank you for your grit, creativity, and heart. You’ve built something remarkable - and now we’ll keep building it together at BigPanda. To my wife, Inbal, none of this would have happened without your unwavering support. Thank you for being such an amazing partner through this ride and for your willingness to turn any date night into a roadmap feedback session. The next chapter starts now, and I can’t wait to see what we’ll build together at BigPanda.
