Sola raises $12M Series A to expand global monitoring infrastructure.
We're thrilled to announce our $12M Series A round, led by Sequoia Capital, to expand our global monitoring network and build the reliability platform engineering teams deserve.

A milestone for Sola and the teams who depend on us
Today, we're announcing that Sola has raised $12M in Series A funding, led by Sequoia Capital, with participation from Y Combinator and several of the world's top infrastructure-focused investors.
This round is a validation of what we've believed from the start: engineering teams deserve monitoring infrastructure that's as reliable and global as the services they're building.
What we'll build with this funding
The majority of this round will go toward three areas. Here's how we're allocating the investment:
Focus Area | Investment | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
Global monitoring network expansion | 40% | 12 months |
Incident management product | 35% | 6–18 months |
Team growth (engineering, product, CS) | 25% | Ongoing |
First, we're expanding our global monitoring network from 18 to 30 regions over the next 12 months, prioritizing Southeast Asia, West Africa, and Eastern Europe.
Second, we're investing heavily in our incident management product. Uptime monitoring is only part of the reliability story. We want Sola to be the place where your team manages the full incident lifecycle — from first alert to postmortem.
Third, we're growing the team. We're hiring across engineering, product, and customer success. If you're passionate about building infrastructure that engineering teams trust with their most critical systems, we'd love to talk.
"When we started Sola, we were frustrated by monitoring tools that were either too simple or too expensive. This funding lets us build the platform engineering teams actually deserve."
— James Carter, Co-founder & CEO
Thank you to our customers
None of this would be possible without the engineering teams who trusted Sola early. This round is for you.
