Backed by an all-star lineup of seasoned founders and operators at the core of the developer tool sector, including Postman's Abhinav Asthana, Charity Majors from Honeycomb, Christian Bach from Netlify, Paul Copplestone from Supabase, Prashanth Chandrasekar from StackOverflow, Luke Kanies from Puppet, Cassidy Williams from Contenda, Milin Desai from Sentry, Moataz Soliman from Instabug, Shawn Wang from smol.ai, Zach Lloyd from Warp, and others. The company plans to double down on its vision with the new funding, aiming to become the industry standard in Development Environment Management, starting with the enterprise sector.
