Empirik.ai Emerges from Stealth with Over $21M

Kartik Chandrayana, CEO of empirik.ai and former Salesforce VP Product, posted that the company is emerging from stealth today. The announcement lists over $21M raised from Sequoia, S32, Canapi Ventures, and Alumni Ventures. Chandrayana notes that coding agents ship at machine speed yet infrastructure remains manual, adding that fast-moving agentic software cannot run on manually operated systems without breaking. He states the company was incubated inside Sequoia Capital.
