techno-optimist! currently @sazabi. prev @DoppelHQ @brexHQ @columbia. soon @HarvardHBS.


🚨 Press alert! @Forbes just published a roundup of top companies from the Y Combinator P26 batch. Sazabi is highlighted for its futuristic product vision, deep talent bench, and unusual approach to fundraising. 🔗 Check it out: forbes.com/sites/dariashu…

Had @shcallaway on the podcast to talk about @sazabi, the observability platform he's building, and he's openly gunning for Datadog. Most of the hour was him defending three positions that cut against how teams have done observability for the last decade.

Right now, every engineering team in the world is coming to the same conclusion: it doesn't matter how fast you can ship if your app is constantly going down. The antidote to production instability is observability. But not the flavor we have today. Legacy observability platforms can’t keep up with the pace of modern AI-driven software development. They're clunky and require way too much setup/maintenance. @sazabi is an AI-native observability platform for fast-moving engineering teams. We're rethinking observability from the ground up for the engineering organization of the future. - Autonomous alerts. - Agentic instrumentation. - Minimalist UI. - CLI & Slack as first-class citizens. - Multiplayer. And so, so much more. If you're using Datadog, Sentry, Grafana or Axiom today, you could be moving 10x faster with Sazabi. Come check it out: calendly.com/d/cyn6-s9f-tfq…

Sazabi is a next-generation observability platform designed for fast-moving, AI-native engineering teams. If you're using Datadog, Sentry, Grafana, or Axiom today, you could be moving ten times faster with @sazabi. Congrats on the launch, @shcallaway! ycombinator.com/launches/QdT-s…

Today we're introducing Commit Capital: a $15M fund investing in technical founders at the earliest stage of building. We invest in B2B software, with a focus on dev tools and infrastructure. The unique structure of our fund follows from a simple observation: Get engineering moving faster, get to PMF faster. - There are five of us (@kevinsimler, @aaymeloglu, @laura_yao, Brandon Burr, and Javier Lopez) , which is a staffing ratio that would make a normal fund's LP base raise an eyebrow. That gives our founders more hands-on resources per dollar invested than any other fund. - Four of us were among the earliest engineers at Palantir, where we built and led development of the commercial product for over a decade. We've shipped software at speed and at scale, managed the kind of technical debt that accumulates when a product grows faster than its architecture planned for, recruited and managed one of the best workforces in tech, and spent a long time in the rooms where the hardest engineering calls get made. - We don't want to be VCs. Okay, one of us is a normal, card-carrying VC, but the other four are spending the majority of their time embedded in our portfolio companies, working alongside the teams. Not advising (we don’t believe in advice) but building. If you raise from us, you get engineers who have done this before helping you ship sh*t faster. We've been writing checks for several months already. @hydra_db , @sazabi , and @VibiumDev are a few we can talk about; several others aren't public yet. If you're building in dev tools or infrastructure and want engineers in the (virtual) room, not just on the cap table, please reach out!
