LaunchDarkly reported it surpassed $200 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) while it appointed Andy Pemberton as chief revenue officer. The update links the company’s financial and leadership milestones to enterprise demand for runtime control in software delivery that uses AI agents.

LaunchDarkly said AI use has shifted teams from accelerating development toward operating autonomous systems in production. It framed runtime control as the way to manage behavior once AI agents operate as part of software delivery workflows.

AgentControl, launched in May 2026, is built on infrastructure that supports more than 50 trillion flag evaluations daily. LaunchDarkly said AgentControl lets teams manage prompts, models, tools, and policies as runtime configurations and optimize AI behavior against live traffic without a full deployment cycle.

In addition to the launch of AgentControl, LaunchDarkly said AI-related pipeline nearly doubled since May 2026, with demand split evenly between new and existing customers. Jonathan Nolen said runtime control allows teams to correct drift quickly without pull request or redeploy, and Harbaugh said speed and control are not in tension as agent systems operate in production.

“When I co-founded LaunchDarkly, the core belief was simple: speed and control shouldn't be in tension. AI has made that more urgent than ever,” said Edith Harbaugh, co-founder and CEO of LaunchDarkly. “Teams aren't just shipping code, they're building systems of agents that act and evolve in production around the clock. LaunchDarkly provides the runtime control layer that makes these factories safe.”
