We raised our Series C!
$150M led by @sequoia at a $3B valuation.
ARR has doubled every quarter since our Series B. Customers now include Fox, WPP, Live Nation, and Ramp.
To keep up we 10x’d the team in the past year. Next up: 500+ more hires, a lot of them engineers.
We’ve stayed flat through all of it. Our CTO has 30+ direct reports. Everyone works in small pods that own a piece of the product and ship fast.
Just the last few months:
- Catalyst: automation agent that writes workflows from a plain-English description
- Background agents: always on, find problems, propose fixes
- Journeys: onboarding and job changes, rebuilt
Automated license reclamation: unused seats come back on their own
If any of that sounds like your kind of problem, DM me or hit the jobs page. @getserval

🤖 Made with AI
Your first week as a @getserval engineer? A $10k luxury vacation. On us.
And if someone at Serval refers you and you get hired as an engineer, you each get $30k 👀
Come join us: serval.com/careers
Starting today, every engineer who joins Serval begins with a weeklong, $10,000 paid vacation. We’re building the next generational company. We need generational talent to see it through.
Our mission has always been to empower people across every team to turn their understanding of a problem into working, trustworthy automations. Making that function inside the largest enterprises takes world-class engineering.
That’s what you’d be joining us to do. There are foundational decisions still to make, and the engineers making them will shape the future of how big we can build this company.
We want you to arrive rested and ready to do the best work of your life. So your first week is a chance to get away.
And if a @getserval employee refers you, both you and that employee receive $30,000, on top of the vacation.
Come build with us: serval.com/careers

Proud to support
We raised a $150M Series C at a $3B valuation, led by @sequoia. Our third round in 12 months, bringing our total funding to $277M.
Our team has grown 10x in the last 12 months. We now serve Fox Corporation, WPP, Live Nation, Lucid Motors, and Ramp, and many of them are fully replacing legacy platforms with @getserval.
AI coding tools have transformed how engineers work. Serval brings that same power to every team, so anyone can build governed automations across the systems they already use.
We’re hiring 500+ people over the next year and expanding in San Francisco, NYC, London, Austin, and beyond.
If you’re down to take on legacy enterprise systems and transform how teams work, my cofounder @AlexAtServal and I would love to meet you.
It’s Serval now.

Contrary to popular belief, AI has not made work disappear. The demand for work (aka value) in enterprises is unlimited.
Automation is key to realizing this value and @getserval's vision is to automate the mundane to unlock everyone's greatest potential.
So proud of all the late nights, hard work, and pure grit to get to this moment.
Come join us. The journey is only 1% finished.

You can assign your investors tickets, too. Congrats to @jakeserval and the @getserval team on today’s $150M Series C led by @sequoia at a $3B valuation.
Proud to be your partners since literal day 1.

We raised a $150M Series C at a $3B valuation, led by @sequoia, to give everyone in the enterprise the power to build and automate like an engineer.
In under two years, AI coding tools have transformed how engineering teams work. Engineers describe what they want and ship it the same day. We want the same for everyone. From IT and HR to legal, security, talent, marketing, and beyond.
We’ve onboarded two of the Fortune 20 in the last six months and doubled ARR every quarter since our Series B. Customers include @FOXCorp, @WPP, @LiveNation, and @tryramp.
Now the hard part. Bringing @getserval to every employee means:
→ Trust at scale: agents never get more power than the person asking
→ Reliability for people who don’t write code
→ Agents that find and fix problems before anyone realizes something is wrong
→ One system of record for every department
In the last 12 months, the team has grown by 10x. Now we’re hiring the best engineers in the world to build what’s next.

The last 6+ months since joining @getserval have been wild, in the best way possible.
This is an amazing milestone and I’m incredibly grateful to be part of the journey.
We’re hiring like crazy. If you’re a cracked engineer looking to join the 🚀, dm me.

This would have been way cooler at $39b.
Today we’re announcing @DoorDash’s intent to acquire @Instacart.
Both DoorDash and Instacart share a mission to help local businesses succeed. Together, we could give grocers and retailers of every size the best of both in one service: DoorDash's delivery network and Instacart’s grocery and fulfillment technology, along with the advertising and AI tools each company has built.
Until closing, DoorDash and Instacart will keep operating as separate, independent companies.
Find out on how we’re helping Main Street compete and keeping more dollars local: shoplocaltogether.com

A popular take right now is that AI means fewer entry-level jobs, but we're seeing the opposite at @getserval. We're hiring more Automation Engineers than ever, and most of them are early in their careers because the people who are best at this job are often the ones who grew up with these tools.
I've built Emerging Talent programs twice before, first at @SFResearch, where we hired PhDs and professors, and then at @tryramp . The lesson that has stuck with me across both is that when you give spiky people real ownership early, they outgrow the role faster than you can rewrite the job description. That's exactly what's happening at Serval, and our customers are seeing it too, with @SeatGeek automating more than half of its IT requests with Serval and its IT engineers evolving into forward-deployed engineers.
Every wave of technology creates jobs that didn't exist before, and for this one that job is the Automation Engineer. If you're early in your career, curious, and love making broken processes disappear, we'd love to talk to you: lnkd.in/eqNt8nuE

Apex is easily in the worst state its ever been. The cheater problem is so out of hand that I don't think its fixable. You have rank 70's and 64's hard wallhacking and aimbotting and nothing is done about it. You probably don't even have to buy cheats to get by their security.
Also after this squad died their is a loba rank 64, heirloom and all also cheating. This game is out of control and unplayable at all ranks. Get your shit together @Respawn @EA and hire some help.
