New Relic, the Intelligent Observability Company, today announced New Relic for Startups, a program that pairs free observability platform access with direct engineering support for early-stage companies building on AI.

Built to support early-stage growth, the program gives Series A and earlier startups the technology and resources required to confidently launch and acquire customers.

As startups build on LLMs, agents, and AI-generated code, they ship fast across their whole stack—typically with no observability platform team to catch what code review misses. Without deep stack visibility, this accelerated speed often introduces hidden operational vulnerabilities.

According to the 2026 State of AI Coding, while 94percent of leaders rate AI-generated code as higher quality (versus human-authored code) at the time of review, 78percent report more incidents once the code actually ships.

An untraceable system outage during a high-profile product launch or funding round can quickly stall a startup's momentum.

Jemiah Sius, Vice President of Market Strategy and Developer Relations at New Relic says, Scaling at the speed of AI means shipping faster than ever, but you can't scale what you can't see. Growth requires absolute clarity into how your stack performs when the pressure is on. We're not just handing out credits. We're bringing our technology and forward-deployed engineers together to give founders the observability foundation they need to launch confidently and scale without limits.”

Sir Charles Hill, Chief Operating Officer of UseBump says, “Scaling our product means our infrastructure has to perform flawlessly when it matters most—even without a massive SRE team behind us. Joining the New Relic for Startups program will give us the enterprise-grade visibility and expert guidance we need to stay reliable as we scale. We don't just view New Relic as a vendor, but as a long-term partner in our growth.”
