Operational excellence isn't just a buzzword—it's at the core of every great enterprise. At Energy Impact Partners, we see how AI and digital transformation are forcing infrastructure leaders—especially in energy, utilities, manufacturing, and financial services—to rethink operations. These leaders must innovate fast while holding the line on costs and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is crucial to the energy transition as it ensures the scalability, resilience, and uptime of the digital infrastructure that underpins the modern grid.

Through hundreds of conversations with customers, a pattern emerged: companies want to modernize operations, but they’re held back by outdated playbooks and labor-intensive practices. Despite generating and collecting petabytes of telemetry data, most enterprises still rely on manual investigations and tribal knowledge to resolve incidents—often taking hours or days to identify root causes or answer questions effectively during “what if” investigations.

EIP invests broadly across the economy of the future — transformative technologies that address fundamental challenges across sectors. We believe the most impactful innovations come from hungry entrepreneurs who understand customer pain points at a molecular level. We love helping such founders grow. Our long-term view provides a purpose-built investment platform to help entrepreneurs scale impact.

We believe the Ciroos founding team exemplifies the ideal "founder-market fit." Ronak Desai, Amit Patel, and Ananda Rajagopal together with the rest of the team they have assembled bring three distinct qualities that set them apart:

‍

1. Domain expertise: Having built and operated complex enterprise-class systems at scale, they understand the technical challenges faced by such customers firsthand.
2. Customer relationships: Their deep customer relationships speak to their pedigree and trust established over time. They've maintained ongoing dialogues with hundreds of practitioners and decision makers, creating solutions guided by real-world needs, and being there for their customers when they needed them most.
3. Execution experience: Their strong followership and track record of building businesses from 0 to multi-billions in revenue demonstrates their ability to build innovative enterprise-grade solutions and bring them to market effectively.

Ciroos.AI is reimagining enterprise IT operations with a multi-agentic AI SRE Teammate that reasons like a human expert. It bridges skill gaps, reduces toil, and integrates with existing tools to make incident response proactive, not reactive. Their “teammate” model isn’t about replacing humans—it’s about freeing SREs and operations teams to focus on innovation instead of firefighting. That's an advantage every industry needs.

In backing Ciroos.AI, we’re betting on a future where human SREs, IT operations, and DevOps become superheroes, turbo-charged by AI to make enterprise operations AI-native, and built for scale, where these teams are empowered. This isn’t just about faster incident resolution—it’s about giving technical teams in enterprises their time back to create what’s next.
