MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, Following recent announcements about a new relationship with IBM and expanded service offerings, today LogDNA confirmed closing a $25 million Series B investment.
The round was led by the venture firm Emergence Capital with participation from Initialized Capital, Y Combinator Continuity Growth and Providence Equity. LogDNA's client list includes IBM, Instacart and Lime, which currently leverage LogDNA in their production and development environments. The company saw tremendous growth in 2018 with over 2,000 customers using their solution and a 5x revenue increase over the previous year. LogDNA will use the cash infusion to scale their engineering, sales and marketing teams. LogDNA's ease of use, flexible deployment options, and best in class cost of ownership are helping them to gain traction with DevOps and engineering teams.
