Airbrake Announces $11M Financing

Airbrake offers real-time error monitoring for the end-to-end application stack, improving the efficiency of continuous integration and continuous development (CI/CD).

Airbrake takes CI/CD to the next level by revealing real-time application errors, combining code-scanning and error-logging before it reaches the end-user. This increases the velocity that companies can release high quality applications, reduces development costs, and improves customer retention.

“Airbrake grew rapidly and profitably under the product-focused leadership of Joe Godfrey,” said Nick Stoffregen, Vice President at Elsewhere Partners. “The company created a product that developers love, and Airbrake has grown organically as a result, without dedicated sales and marketing teams.”

Several senior-level software company veterans have joined Airbrake to expand the Go-To-Market strategy and product roadmap. The team plans to focus on increasing value to the developer community and helping businesses accelerate digital transformation.

The expanded executive team includes:

Shelley Perry, Executive Chairman (Insight Partners, NTT, HP, TicketMaster)
Treb Ryan, CEO (Dimension Data, OpSource)
Eric Anderson, CTO (CopperEgg, Oracle, StackEngine)
Chad Savoy, CRO (Datadog, SolarWinds)
Joe Godfrey, CPO (Amazon, Ancestry)

“We’re excited to continue nurturing the strong relationships Airbrake has built with customers in the developer community,” said Treb Ryan, CEO of Airbrake. “Once dev teams try Airbrake, they uncover real-world errors across the entire solution that they never knew existed,” Ryan said.

“Airbrake is a textbook example of the success of product-led growth,” said Shelley Perry, Executive Chairman of Airbrake. “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,” Perry said.
