Edgedive

What do they actually do

Edgedive plugs into tools product and support teams already use (e.g., Intercom, Slack, Linear, GitHub, Sentry) to watch incoming tickets, alerts, and conversations. From those inputs it runs automated investigations, summarizes likely root cause and impact, and drafts developer‑ready artifacts like scoped tickets with acceptance criteria and, in many cases, merge‑ready PRs that follow team standards. Teams still review and often pull PRs locally to run tests before merging today (YC profile, homepage, The Zerg blog).

It also ingests customer conversations and sales call transcripts to surface product signals and link them to engineering work and outcomes (examples shown via collaborations with Fathom and an integration listing with Gong). This helps teams tag and quantify feedback and schedule recurring voice‑of‑customer reports, so customer signals turn into tracked work rather than ad‑hoc notes (Fathom collab post, Gong integration page, YC profile).

Who are their target customer(s)

• Support team leads / managers: They’re flooded with tickets and spend time hunting logs and related cases before routing or escalating. They need clearer context and faster, well‑scoped escalations to engineering (YC profile).
• Product managers: Feedback is scattered across support, sales calls, and analytics; it’s hard to link signals to concrete engineering work or measured outcomes. They need tagging, quantification, and reports that roll into tickets (YC profile, LinkedIn post).
• Customer success / account teams: Insights from calls and meetings often don’t become tracked fixes, risking churn. They want call transcripts turned into surfaced issues and action items (integrations shown with Fathom and Gong) (Fathom post, Gong).
• Engineers and on‑call SREs: They spend time reproducing issues and writing small fixes or tickets instead of higher‑value work. They want auto‑investigation and either merge‑ready PRs or scoped tickets, with human review still in place today (The Zerg, Build your own swarm).
• Engineering/platform managers (mid‑large companies): They require safety, auditability, and access controls when AI touches code and customer data. They want enterprise controls and a clear human‑in‑the‑loop by default (Trust Center, The Zerg).

How would they acquire their first 10, 50, and 100 customers

• First 10: Run concierge pilots with engineering‑led startups and product teams (via YC and developer networks): install connectors, run first investigations, and co‑ship initial PRs/tickets to show value quickly; capture case studies and referrals (YC profile, The Zerg).
• First 50: Activate partner channels (e.g., Gong/Fathom marketplaces and co‑marketing) and targeted outbound to support managers/PMs; demo investigations → ticket/PR flow; convert pilots to paid by measuring time saved per ticket and using reference calls (Gong integration, Fathom post).
• First 100: Offer a self‑serve trial with templates/docs for small teams while a light sales motion targets enterprise using Trust Center materials and case studies to address safety/audit concerns; scale onboarding playbooks and connectors (Edgedive site/blog, Trust Center).

What is the rough total addressable market

Top-down context:

Edgedive spans support/customer service software (~$15B in 2024), DevOps (~$12–13B), developer tools (~$6B), and customer success platforms (~$1.5–1.8B), implying an upper‑bound pool around ~$30–40B with overlap across categories (Verified Market Research, IMARC DevOps, TBRC dev tools, Grand View Research).

Bottom-up calculation:

Illustratively, focusing on NA/EU mid‑market and enterprise product companies: if 10,000 target accounts adopt at 10–20% with $75k–$125k ACV, the initial SOM is roughly $75M–$250M; extending globally to ~40,000 suitable prospects at similar ACV and adoption yields a SAM in the few‑hundred‑million to low‑single‑billion range. These are assumption‑driven ranges to frame near‑term opportunity.

Assumptions:

• Purchase requires alignment across support/product and engineering, limiting early adoption to product‑centric companies with both functions in‑house.
• Enterprise ACV in the low six figures with lower mid‑market pricing; value tied to reduced ticket toil and shipped fixes.
• Adoption speed depends on trust/safety controls and the share of fixes that can move toward autonomous test/merge.

Who are some of their notable competitors

• Sentry (Autofix): Observability vendor with AI Autofix that analyzes production errors, generates fixes, and can open PRs—overlaps with the alert→diagnosis→PR flow Edgedive targets for certain classes of issues (Sentry Autofix).
• Intercom Fin (AI Agent): An AI customer service agent that resolves queries and integrates with major helpdesks. Competes for support automation budgets upstream of engineering while Edgedive focuses on converting signals into engineering work (Fin site, Intercom).
• Forethought: AI customer service platform that triages and resolves tickets across channels and surfaces insights—adjacent/competing spend aimed at reducing support backlog and agent effort (Forethought platform).
• Jam.dev: Bug reporting and auto‑capture tool that gathers the technical context devs need (logs, repro steps) and integrates with issue trackers—competes on improving investigation quality and ticket clarity (Jam.dev).
• Cognition Devin: An autonomous AI software engineer that can plan and execute code changes; overlaps with the “AI engineer” vision on generating and reviewing PRs, though it’s centered on engineering workflows rather than support signals (Introducing Devin).
