ABOUT OODLE
Oodle’s mission is to build an iconic observability company! Oodle enables developer and SRE teams to handle 10x more data at a tenth of the price. Oodle is disrupting Observability just like snowflake has disrupted data warehousing. We are taking a unique and fundamentally new architectural approach to Observability by building a unified experience for logs, metrics and traces. We’re a seed funded company backed by the top tier VCs in the Observability, and Infra/AI spaces. We deeply care about diverse teams, especially diversity of thought and perspective.
The founders are serial entrepreneurs (ex-Rubrik, AWS, YC, and IIT Alumni) who have built world class teams over the last decade. Our founders have helped Rubrik scale from <5M from a single product line to $600M across multiple product lines. We’ve worked at Rubrik, AWS, ran a YC-backed observability startup, and have built and launched products like AWS S3, DynamoDB and made open source contributions in CockroachDB. We’re a really unique team - we are our own customers, and lived through these pain points for 8+ years - both as a buyer of observability at a high scale company for 4.5 years (Rubrik) and as a company builder selling to the same buyer (4+ years at YC startup).
