Stephen Whitworth of Incident.io: From Monzo Tooling to AI SRE

Stephen, CEO and co-founder of Incident.io, traces his path through a taxi app startup, fraud-detection company Ravelin and Monzo before building an all-in-one incident response platform used by everyone from Linear to Netflix and Etsy. He explains the founding story — co-founder Chris built the internal Monzo incident tooling that was open-sourced and drew 500 sign-ups on day one during COVID — plus current priorities: scaling the existing business, an AI SRE agent in early access, and moving upmarket to traditional enterprises like Walmart and JPMorgan. He also covers spending 30–40% of his time on hiring, why plans matter less than reacting well, his spin-out talk at Slush, and why Slush is the one European tech conference worth attending.
