Anish Agarwal, Raj Agrawal, Sonya Huang, Bogomil Balkansky

Traversal, founded by Anish and Raj, deploys LLM-orchestrated AI agents to automate Root Cause Analysis in DevOps and SRE, transforming fragmented manual troubleshooting into a scalable process. By leveraging statistical causal inference to build semantic dependency maps, the platform achieves approximately 90% accuracy in identifying incident origins within minutes rather than hours. Operating with read-only access, Traversal distinguishes itself as a critical safety net for mission-critical systems, currently rated at an L4 capability level for autonomous diagnostics without requiring complex human intervention or new data generation.
