History of PagerDuty

Founded: 2009
Founders: Alex Solomon, Andrew Miklas, Baskar Puvanathasan

Alex Solomon, Andrew Miklas, and Baskar Puvanathasan built the first version of PagerDuty in Toronto in 2009, solving a problem Solomon knew from Amazon: waking the right engineer when systems broke at 3 a.m. The product passed through Y Combinator in 2010 and the company relocated to San Francisco.

The tool hit a nerve across the growing DevOps movement. As software teams adopted on-call rotations, PagerDuty's alerting and escalation became the default layer between monitoring tools and the humans who fixed things. Revenue grew through the mid-2010s on a bottoms-up sales motion that spread from engineering teams to whole enterprises.

Jennifer Tejada became CEO in 2016 and professionalized the company for public markets. PagerDuty listed on the NYSE in April 2019 at around $24 per share, riding the wave of DevOps software IPOs.

The post-IPO era was a transition from alerting tool to platform. Acquisitions added capabilities: Rundeck for runbook automation in 2020, Catalytic for no-code workflow automation, and Jeli for incident analysis in 2023. The company built AIOps into the core product and expanded into customer service and business operations use cases.

Fiscal 2026, ended January 31, 2026, was a turning point: revenue reached $492.5 million, up 5.4 percent, and the company posted its first full year of GAAP profitability with net income of $173.9 million, aided by a deferred tax benefit. Annual recurring revenue hit $499 million.

The current strategy centers on agentic operations: AI agents that detect, diagnose, and resolve incidents autonomously, positioning PagerDuty as the control layer for AI-driven operations rather than just the alerting layer for human responders.
