Buggy apps mean lost opportunities for businesses everywhere.
Now a company focused on monitoring for application errors in real-time with code-scanning technology has raised new funding and expanded its executive team.
Airbrake, which has a remote team and leadership split between the Bay Area and Austin, announced Thursday it raised an $11 million round of funding led by Austin-based Elsewhere Partners. The company merged with Exceptional Cloud Services in 2012 and was acquired by Rackspace in 2013. Rackspace later sold the business to San Francisco VC firm Turn/River.
In addition to the new funding, Airbrake also announced it added several new leaders, including CEO Treb Ryan, formerly of Dimension Data and OpSource. Other additions include Shelley Perry as executive chairman, Eric Anderson as CTO, Chad Savoy as CRO and Joe Godfrey as CPO.
“We’re excited to continue nurturing the strong relationships Airbrake has built with customers in the developer community,” Ryan said in a news release. “Once dev teams try Airbrake, they uncover real-world errors across the entire solution that they never knew existed."
The startup provides a full-stake app monitoring service that helps accelerate feedback cycles. It integrates with common applications, including Slack, GitHub and JIRA. Its website notes that engineers at Twitch, Netflix, Salesforce and Adobe use its services.
“Airbrake is a textbook example of the success of product-led growth,” Shelley Perry, executive chairman of Airbrake, said in a statement. “This investment allows Airbrake to focus on value-led growth, which includes increasing customer feedback, building community, and investing in partnerships within the CI/CD ecosystem."
