AI infrastructure observability platform recognized among the region’s top emerging technology companies
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., September 18, 2026 — Parlon, the observability platform built for AI infrastructure, legacy modernization, and active synthetic testing, today announced it has been named a finalist in the Emerging Companies Showcase at TiECON East 2026, the joint annual conference of TiE Boston and TiE New York. The conference takes place October 2, 2026, at the Burlington Marriott in Burlington, Massachusetts.
The Emerging Companies Showcase recognizes high-growth startups across the TiE Boston and TiE New York chapters, selected through a competitive review by investors and industry operators. Parlon was chosen for its work building an observability platform for AI infrastructure at a moment when GPU fleets, power constraints, and agentic workloads have outpaced the tools built to monitor them.
“Infrastructure has changed. Observability hasn’t,” said Matt Goldberg, co-founder and CEO of Parlon. “Being selected as a finalist validates what we’ve heard directly from customers: the tools built for yesterday’s data centers can’t see what’s happening in today’s AI clusters. We built Parlon to close that gap.”
Founded by a team with more than 60 combined years at SevOne, Broadcom, Akamai, and IBM, Parlon unifies AI infrastructure monitoring, legacy network observability, and active synthetic testing on a single normalized data platform. The company’s approach lets enterprises deploy alongside existing tools and replace them over a 30 to 60 day proof of value, without a rip-and-replace migration.
“Building a company from scratch validates the work in a way nothing else does,” said Chris Rohter, co-founder and CRO of Parlon. “This recognition reflects three careers spent in this industry, converging at the moment infrastructure needed us most.”
“We’re looking forward to sharing our story with the TiE Boston and TiE New York community and showing attendees what a platform built for the AI infrastructure era actually looks like,” said Soumo Nandi, co-founder and Chief Solution Architect of Parlon.
Parlon will present at TiECON East on October 2 alongside the other Emerging Companies Showcase finalists.
