Today, Antimetal announced a $20 million Series A led by Sound Ventures to fix the modern stack’s most expensive problem: complexity.
Alongside the raise, Antimetal unveiled the beta of its flagship platform designed to automate infrastructure management so engineers can spend time where it matters: building, not maintaining.

“Writing code is no longer the hard part,” said Shreyas Iyer, Antimetal CTO. “Everything that happens after you write it—provisioning, deploying, scaling, debugging, optimizing, securing—is where teams are now getting stuck.”
“Even the best infrastructure teams at trillion-dollar companies are trapped in this cycle,” Matthew Parkhurst, CEO adds. “More dashboards, more alerts, more tools. It’s not a headcount problem. It’s a complexity problem. And throwing more people at it rarely helps.”
Antimetal offers a different path. Rather than imposing rigid frameworks, the platform learns and adapts to each team’s specific patterns and behaviors. It pulls data from every surface area of a team’s infrastructure stack, and develops an understanding of how their systems typically fail, how engineers respond to those, and what business outcomes matter most to the organization.
Over time, it internalizes this behavioral knowledge and gradually automates parts of a team’s workflow. In the process, it takes fragmented institutional knowledge that typically lives only in senior engineers’ heads and encodes it into a system that is usable by the entire team.

The result: less maintenance, fewer incidents, and more time to build.
Antimetal is now available in early access, with a wider general release planned for later in the year.
