About the Company
- Serval is an AI-native automation platform transforming how enterprises operate.
- We build intelligent agents that understand real-world workflows and execute them end-to-end — replacing manual processes and rigid legacy systems with adaptive, learning software.
- Founded in early 2024, Serval is already trusted by companies like Fox, Notion, Perplexity, Vercel, and Brex to automate high-volume, high-friction operational work across their organizations.
- At the core of Serval is an agentic AI platform that turns natural language into production-grade workflows.
- Our agents don’t just respond to requests — they reason, take action across systems, and continuously improve with usage.
- What began with operational use cases has quickly evolved into a horizontal AI automation layer used across IT, HR, Finance, Security, Legal, and Engineering.
- Our mission is to eliminate repetitive, manual work across the enterprise and give teams leverage through intelligent automation.
- Long term, we’re building the universal AI operations layer — a system of agents that sits across business functions and runs the workflows that keep modern companies moving.
- We’re backed by leading investors including Sequoia Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Meritech, First Round, General Catalyst, Elad Gil, and others.
