What It Covers
Alex McLeod’s first-person Series B announcement. Critical for confirming Elad Gil’s individual angel investment — Gil is named in McLeod’s post but not in Stauch’s parallel post, and not in Reuters / company blog / Sequoia / SiliconANGLE.
Key Claims (verbatim)
“Big news for Serval today. We’ve raised 1B valuation, just three months after our Series A. 🚀”
“In that time, revenue is up 500% and Serval has gone from ‘AI agents for IT’ to a full system of record and automation layer that other teams use every day.”
“IT teams are now automating 50%+ of tickets with Serval, from access provisioning to onboarding and offboarding. HR is running employee lifecycle changes and PTO. Finance is issuing virtual cards and managing vendor intake. Legal is kicking off NDAs and contract workflows directly from Slack.”
“Companies like Perplexity, Clay, Mercor, Together AI have been incredible partners in pushing the product forward and proving that AI-native ITSM can replace legacy systems of record.”
Investor list (verbatim)
“Grateful to Sequoia Capital, Redpoint, Meritech Capital, First Round Capital, General Catalyst, Elad Gil, Evantic Capital, Frank Slootman and all of our investors for the support.”
This is the dispositive verbatim primary source for both:
- Elad Gil as individual angel ^[200+ companies / 40+ unicorns including Stripe, Airbnb, Brex, Perplexity, Harvey, Decagon]
- Frank Slootman as individual angel ^[ex-CEO ServiceNow → Snowflake]
Limitations
- Tenacity Capital, Sound Ventures, and Radical Ventures (named in Stauch’s parallel post) are not separately named here — McLeod uses “and all of our investors” as the catch-all.
