CTO.ai offers a platform and a service for building, sharing, and running DevOps shortcuts that integrate with tools like GitHub, AWS and Slack to automate long sequences of engineering steps. The product can reduce complex tasks (for example, setting up a Kubernetes cluster) from days to minutes and exposes shortcuts through a flexible JavaScript environment and pre-made libraries. The company also sells DevOps-as-a-Service and reliability offerings to build custom shortcuts for larger customers. CTO.ai emerged from stealth with a 60-person team and says it bootstrapped to profitability over the past two years, with revenue up 400% in 18 months. Future plans in the articles include deeper Slack integrations, a possible self-service tier and an enterprise complexity pricing model, plus ramping up community outreach, conferences, and creator pages to drive virality. The company notes competitive risk from players like Google Cloud Composer and GitHub Actions, and intends to remain neutral in integrations to turn potential competitors into partners. CTO.ai is a Vancouver, Canada-based startup that provides solutions for chief technology officers and their software engineering teams to connect. Led by CEO Kyle Campbell, the company offers a collection of products and services tailored to help startups scale using a mixed platform, advisory and hands-on approach. The company aims to deliver engineering insights and productivity to the marketplace using blockchain technology. Following the investment, CTO.ai will collaborate with Etherparty, a company of the Vanbex group focused on an easy-to-use smart contract creation tool. The company raised $250K in funding from Vanbex Capital. The funds are intended to support its blockchain-based initiatives and the partnership with Etherparty.
