- **Founded**: 2015
- **Founders**: Pavel Bykov (CEO), Radek Drbala (Head of Finance & Operations), Petr Podrouzek (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Network Assurance, Network Automation, IT Infrastructure & Security
- **Target customers**: B2B; large-scale enterprise IT and network operations teams, managed service providers, and organizations with complex multi-vendor network environments
- **Mission or purpose statement**: “To make network assurance ubiquitous to create a stable, secure, agile, and resource-conscious digital future.”

## Products & Services
- **IP Fabric Network Digital Twin Platform**: A SaaS-like platform (deployed on-prem or in-cloud) that uses read-only SSH/API access to discover 100% of network devices, connections, and configurations. It creates an interactive, continuously validated digital twin of the entire network estate, uncovering risks, vulnerabilities, and compliance gaps that other tools miss. Core use cases include:
    - **Network Automation Foundation**: Provides standardized, vendor-agnostic data to drive automation tools (Ansible, ServiceNow, etc.) and validates changes pre- and post-implementation.
    - **Regulatory Compliance Readiness**: Automates the generation of audit evidence for standards like PCI-DSS, SOC2, etc.
    - **De-risking Digital Transformation**: Validates network behavior during migrations, cloud onboarding, and major changes.
    - **Closed-Loop Automation**: Integrates with tools like Splunk, Grafana, NetBox, Nautobot, and more via an open API.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: 
    - **Annual Revenue**: $1.0M (per LinkedIn data; note this may be an estimate and not official)
    - **Total Funding**: $30.6M across 4 rounds.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**:

    - Global presence with employees in 11 countries (Czechia, US, UK, Germany, Slovakia, Poland, and more).
    - Active job postings (6 open roles) with a yearly increase of +100% in listings.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Vendor-Neutral & 100% Coverage**: Unlike many network tools, IP Fabric discovers the entire multi-vendor, on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environment, not just a portion. It fills the 20-40% visibility gap that other monitoring tools miss.
- **Digital Twin & Validation**: Provides a live, interactive model of the network state and behavior, enabling pre- and post-change validation that prevents outages and configuration drift.
- **No SNMP, No Agent**: Uses read-only CLI/API access, making it secure and easy to deploy without impacting network performance.
- **API-First & Extensible**: Open API and pre-built integrations allow it to slot into existing workflows, acting as the “source of truth” for automation, compliance, and security tools.
- **Pricing Model**: Licensed per active device (not per seat), incentivizing broad deployment without seat-license friction.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling Go-to-Market**: With Series B funding, IP Fabric is aggressively expanding its sales and marketing presence, particularly in the DACH region and across EMEA.
- **Deepening Automation & Compliance**: Building out closed-loop automation capabilities and regulatory compliance features to become the standard for network governance.
- **Growing the Platform Ecosystem**: Increasing integrations with popular IT, security, and automation tools to make the digital twin the central nervous system of network operations.
- **Product-Led Growth**: Emphasizing a quick time-to-value (minutes to deploy) and a freemium/trial model to drive adoption.

## Why Work Here

- **Remote/Hybrid Policy**: Flexible, remote-friendly setups, with many roles open to remote work across the Czech Republic and the EU.
- **Benefits**: Competitive PTO, a wellbeing program, anniversary rewards, and a supportive, collaborative atmosphere.
- **Engineering Culture**: Emphasis on “self-driving networks” and building the future of network automation. Engineers work with cutting-edge tech (network models, APIs, automation stacks) on a platform that is fundamental to enterprise IT stability.
- **Global Team**: A diverse team across 11 countries, with a flat-ish structure and a strong sense of ownership and accountability.
- **Growth Trajectory**: A well-funded Series B company with strong revenue growth and a clear mission. Employees have the chance to grow with the company as it scales.
