There are countless tools that are designed for engineers to monitor infrastructure whether it be for the cloud, applications, or IT. But what happens when it comes to operations, which effectively governs goods, services, and people and how they interact within a company’s customer journey from first contact to service delivery. Avenue is an observability platform that allows operations teams to build alerts from their database or data warehouses to identify critical business issues in real-time. Non-technical teams can easily set up these alerts on a myriad of data, without extensive knowledge of code, and the alerts flow directly into existing workflows like Slack or other channels. This brings versatility and usability to the platform as use cases can range from monitoring inventory levels to identifying churn risk. Any incidents can be tracked to ensure they are being handled from acknowledgment to resolution.

Knoetic Raises $18M Series A for its Workforce Analytics Platform and Social Network for Chief People Officers
The evolution of a successful company involves a typical storyline that goes from the founding team focusing on product and growth at the earliest stages to the founders’ roles transitioning to storytelling and finding, engaging, and retaining the right talent after product-market-fit is established. Eventually, as company roles become more specialized, many companies are hiring Chief People Officers (CPOs) to manage the strategy of building and retaining exceptional talent with a focus on hiring, training, professional development, and performance management. Knoetic is a platform built for Chief People Officers by Chief People Officers. The platform is a workforce analytics platform that also has its own professional social network of 1000+ Chief People Officers that are able to support one another and provide best practices. The analytics side allows CPOs to take an unprecedented data-driven approach to their roles. The company is emerging from stealth but has its roots in another startup that combined analytics and community founded by the same team – Twine.
