■ About us

We've Seen This Movie Before

AI coding agents promise 10x developer productivity. But without the right context, they go off the track, generating code that breaks your standards and rules, violates compliance, and creates technical debt.
We've built Straion to fix that.

Why We Built Straion for the Enterprise

Our founding team spent years at Elastic, Dynatrace, and Netlify building tools that help engineering teams understand what's happening in their systems.

We learned something important: AI coding agents without the right rules go in the wrong direction—fast.

When AI coding agents started reshaping how software gets built, we saw the same pattern emerge. Teams adopting Claude Code and Cursor were flying blind—their AI had no context about organizational standards, security requirements, or architectural patterns.

The result? Engineers spending more time course-correcting AI than actually shipping.

We knew there had to be a better way.

Straion was born from a simple insight: AI coding agents don't need more capabilities—they need the right context. Our ML-powered platform ensures your AI knows your rules before writing a single line of code.


Built by Engineers, for Engineers

We're a small, focused founding team with deep roots in developer tooling and observability platforms.

Our backgrounds span Elastic, Dynatrace, Netlify, and other companies where we learned what it takes to build tools that engineering teams actually love using.
