Description
Short Intro: incident.io is an incident management platform founded in 2021 by Stephen Whitworth, Chris Evans, and Pete Hamilton, three engineers from Monzo Bank's platform and reliability team who experienced firsthand where PagerDuty stopped being useful. The platform runs incident response directly inside Slack and Microsoft Teams, automating channel setup, role assignment, stakeholder updates, and timeline capture so responders focus on resolution rather than coordination. Backed by $96.2M across three rounds including a $62M Series B led by Insight Partners at a $400M valuation, the company serves 2,000+ customers including Netflix, Etsy, Airbnb, Vercel, Linear, and Intercom.
