XOPS
XOPS (legal name XperiencOps, Inc.) is a Menlo Park-based autonomous IT company that emerged from stealth in August 2025 with $40M co-led by Activant Capital and FPV Ventures. Billed as the first 'Active System of Intelligence,' its platform builds a living knowledge graph of an enterprise's fragmented IT estate and deploys a legion of goal-oriented software robots that coordinate existing systems - ServiceNow, Workday, Okta, Intune - to drive desired states across employee, device, and software lifecycles. The pitch: declare the outcome you want, and XOPS continuously converges your systems toward it, no tickets, no human middleware.
