Hatica integrates with Git repository hosting services such as GitHub, Gitlab, and Bitbucket; communication tools such as Slack, Google Meet and Zoom; project management solutions such as Asana, JIRA, and Trello; Incident management offerings such as OpsGenie, PagerDuty and VictorOps and CI/CD platforms such as Circle CI, Jetkins and Phabricator.

The first round also included existing investor Kae Capital and senior engineers from Google, Uber, Twitter, Okta and Notion as angel investors.

“We have very good investor confidence and they are confident that we will be able to extend our next term soon. So we did a future evaluation round,” he said.

For the latest round, the startup raised $900,000 from Kae Capital in a pre-seed round.
