Catio wins ‘coolest tech’ award at VB Transform 2025

Palo Alto Catio received “coolest technology” at Venturebeat Transform 2025 in San Francisco on Wednesday. Founded in 2023, the company has raised $ 7 million to date, with a recent $ 3 million Round announced in March. Catio was also a finalist and presented to VB innovation window transformed in 2024.

The Cotio Co -Pilot AI for technological architecture rejects architecture as a living system – a system that can be codified, introspered and intelligently evolved. By combining an architectural card in real time with a multi-agent AI organization, the solution helps engineering teams going from decision-making reactive to excellence in continuous and proactive architecture.

Venturebeat spoke with the co-founder and CEO Boris Bogatin and the product led Adam Kirsh about their team and company technology after the winners’ announcement at Transform. “We are a team of series entrepreneurs and technology leaders who have all shared a deep personal problem,” said Bogatin. “While financing people and developers all have tools, CTOs, architects and developers all plan and optimize batteries on white tables and ad hoc spreadsheets. And we change that with Catio. ”

Catio is much more than a digital whiteboard for CTOS – it is a reinvention of the way architecture is understood, managed and advanced. The platform serves as a digital twin for your technological battery, providing visibility in continuous architecture to shed light on more well-informed and data-oriented architecture decisions. Designed to approach the growing complexity of modern technological batteries, including cloud infrastructure, container orchestration, monitoring and data pipelines – the platform replaces static diagrams and ad hoc instantaneous with a high -fidelity interactive system model. With Catio, architecture becomes a living and codified system – update, evaluated and advised by a network of intelligent AI agents.

From static diagrams to living systems

As a technological battery co -pilot led by AI for technical leaders and engineering teams, Catio provides real -time expert information and usable recommendations to help assess, plan and optimize infrastructure with clarity and confidence. The solution fits into your existing stack of technology – services like AWS, Kubernetes, Prometheus and more.

Once connected, the batteries – its first basic module – create a complete model of your entire environment. Unlike traditional architecture diagrams, this model is codified, poured and updated permanently, living in the code rather than PowerPoint slides.

This dynamic architecture model allows teams to interact with their battery as a navigable system. Each component is introspective: what does this RDS instance do? Is it optimized for cost or performance? Does he always meet commercial requirements? With Catio, these questions are no longer answered during meetings or cloiser sons; Instead, they are integrated into the platform.

A multi-agent AI system to close the loop on the architecture

The solution includes a multi-agent AI system designed to reflect the structure of a typical technical organization. It consists of 31 specialized agents, each modeled after common roles such as the chief architect, the data architect, the messaging architect, the product managers and beyond. These agents collaborate to assess the design and performance of system architecture in relation to requirements and best practices.

Together, they simulate the design examination processes which generally require weeks of coordination or the involvement of external consultants. But instead of periodic criticisms, the Catios agents are still working, performing a 24/7 analysis to help you develop your architecture in real time. In addition, Catio does not only describe your architecture – she actively criticizes it. The solution offers a gap analysis, identifies the sub-performative components and suggests targeted improvements aligned with your commercial objectives.

Whether it is optimizing a data pipeline, revising your messaging infrastructure or rethinking the storage architecture, the platform provides usable information at each stack layer.

The future

At Transform, Catio has also announced the next launch of Archie, a conversational multi-agent intestance system. Archie will allow users to speak to their architecture and ask for advice – for example, “How to improve my security posture?” The request will give clear and usable responses, such as advice to identify exactly where a specific security vulnerability exists in your architecture.

Archie provides both normative advice and reactive information. If you aim to optimize costs, for example, its AI agents will surface opportunities and will assess the commercial impact of each. This facilitates the connection of each architectural decision to the return on investment measurable, helping you to design and plan with greater precision – so your technical choices constantly support the real commercial objectives.
