Our take

Software developers are often burdened with time-consuming troubleshooting tasks, pulling them away from the work of actually developing software. Kerno was founded to remedy this with technology that monitors and troubleshoots applications automatically.

Working across the cloud, software infrastructure, CI/CD, apps and git, Kerno connects and analyses key events, effectively diagnosing errors and providing developers with potential solutions. With cloud applications becoming more expensive to run and developers under increasing pressure to deliver fixes, Kerno’s simple solution aims to save time as well as money.

The company is currently in early access mode but has benefitted from modest early funding led by Elkstone Ventures. This will be used to accelerate the product to market and increase its engineering capacity as well as reach more developers in the coming years.
