Cortex is an internal developer portal (IDP) that gives engineering teams a single pane of glass over every service, package and resource. It tracks ownership, scorecards for operational maturity, on-call info and pipelines so platform teams can drive engineering excellence and reduce developer friction.

Cortex was founded in 2019 by Anish Dhar, Ganesh Datta and Nikhil Unni, three engineers who had felt the pain of microservice sprawl at Twilio, Uber and other large companies. The team went through Y Combinator (W20) and built the first commercial internal developer portal aimed at letting platform teams enforce service ownership, reliability and security standards. Cortex has since raised more than $190M from Sequoia, Tiger Global, IVP and Scale Venture Partners.
Cortex closed a $60M Series C led by Scale Venture Partners at a $470M post-money valuation.
Cortex closed a $35M Series B led by IVP to accelerate its internal developer portal.
Cortex announces Series B funding to expand IDP adoption.
Cortex publishes its own post explaining the Series B financing and roadmap.
Cortex graduated from Y Combinator's Winter 2020 batch.
