Atlassian Ventures Backs Rocketlane to Automate Professional Services

Rocketlane’s latest funding round underscores a broader industry pivot, as professional services teams move from manual project tracking toward AI-driven execution. The company recently secured $60 million in Series C funding led by Insight Partners, bringing its total capital raised to $105 million. With over 750 global customers, the startup is leveraging its platform, Nitro, to automate high-effort tasks such as environment setup, migrations, and documentation.

According to Georgia Zhang, Head of Atlassian Ventures, the investment was driven by the platform's demonstrated ability to handle Atlassian’s internal service workflows. Rocketlane CEO Srikrishnan Ganesan argues that the industry's future lies in rebuilding delivery models from scratch rather than simply layering AI over existing processes. By automating timesheet governance, compliance, and real-time risk monitoring, Nitro aims to reduce delivery effort by up to 50 percent, allowing consultants to shift their focus from administrative overhead to high-value billable work.
