Amit Agarwal
Founder and CEO of Standard Template Labs (STLabs). Public sources describe him as a former Datadog President and Chief Product Officer who spent 13+ years helping scale Datadog, then worked as a Partner at ICONIQ before incubating STLabs there.
Why He Matters
- Founder signal is unusually strong for a seed-stage AI service desk / ITSM competitor.
- ICONIQ says Datadog co-founders viewed Amit as a “co-founder in all but name” ^[extracted from investor note].
- CRV says Amit joined Datadog when it was seed-stage, later became President, joined the board, and also spent time as a CRV venture partner ^[extracted].
- STLabs’ launch narrative is directly tied to Amit’s Datadog operating history and 100+ CIO conversations through ICONIQ ^[extracted].
