# Faros AI

> Faros AI is an AI-native engineering intelligence platform that pulls data from the tools software teams already use - GitHub, Jira, CI/CD, incident systems and more - and turns it into a single view of how engineering work actually flows. Founded by the ex-Salesforce team that built Einstein, Faros helps engineering leaders measure DORA metrics, track delivery, quantify the ROI of AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot, and automate R&D cost capitalization across the full software development lifecycle.

- **Founded:** 2020
- **Headquarters:** Sunnyvale, California, United States
- **Founders:** Vitaly Gordon (Co-founder & CEO), Shubha Nabar (Co-founder & Chief Scientist), Matthew Tovbin (Co-founder & CTO)
- **Team size:** ~71 employees
- **Products:** Engineering Intelligence Platform, DORA Metrics Dashboards, AI Transformation & Copilot Impact, R&D Cost Capitalization
- **Notable:** Founded by the core team behind Salesforce Einstein, one of the first comprehensive enterprise AI platforms., Raised $36M+ across seed and Series A from SignalFire, Salesforce Ventures, Lobby Capital, and Operator Collective., Adopted by enterprises including Autodesk, Discord, Vimeo, Coursera, and Box.

## Products & services

- **Engineering Intelligence Platform** — An AI-native platform that connects 100+ engineering data sources into a single view of the software development lifecycle, giving leaders a single-pane picture across velocity, delivery, cost, and quality.
