Incredibly proud to share that Faros AI has been named Microsoft Partner of the Year 2025! As the person leading our partnership with Microsoft, this recognition feels deeply personal. What began as a shared vision has turned into something transformational - helping enterprise engineering teams finally measure the real productivity impact of AI tools like GitHub Copilot. We’re solving a critical gap: while AI coding assistants are being adopted at record speed, most organizations still struggle to prove ROI or understand their true impact. Together with Microsoft and GitHub, we’re giving engineering leaders a single source of truth for performance and AI efficiency. Proud of the incredible Faros team that made this a reality, and grateful to Microsoft for Startups, our partners for believing in the mission and amplifying it to over 500,000 engineers worldwide.
