Tagline (under 10 words): AI-powered software delivery platform for the post-code lifecycle.

Short Intro: Harness is an enterprise software delivery platform founded in 2017 by Jyoti Bansal, who previously founded AppDynamics and sold it to Cisco for $3.7 billion the same year he started Harness. Headquartered in San Francisco with 1,700+ employees across 14 offices, the platform covers the full post-code delivery lifecycle: CI/CD, feature flags, cloud cost management, chaos engineering, security testing, and internal developer portals. In April 2026, Harness launched a Cursor Plugin that connects its Software Delivery Knowledge Graph to Cursor's chat interface through an MCP server, letting developers run pipelines and governance workflows in natural language without leaving their IDE.
