The world runs on software. Yet delivering changes to software remains massively complicated, highly manual, and risk-prone. At Harness, our mission is to simplify the entire software delivery process so that software engineering teams can move fast and ship code effortlessly without the fear of breaking things. That's why we're bringing the industry’s first Continuous Delivery-as-a-Service platform to the market.

Harness uses a unique machine learning and AI-based approach to continuously verify the performance, quality, and security of highly complex software systems, and automates the entire software delivery process. Harness is led by technologist and entrepreneur, Jyoti Bansal, who founded AppDynamics and sold it to Cisco for $3.7 Billion. We're backed with $60M in Series B funding from top-tier VC firms Menlo Ventures, IVP, Google Ventures, and ServiceNow Ventures.
