Firetiger was founded by Rustam and Achille, ex-senior leaders at Cloudflare and Segment. Our product is rooted in operational observability techniques that we developed and applied at Cloudflare and Segment to run mission-critical infrastructure at hyperscale.
We are on a path to do to the Telemetry space what companies like Databricks have done to Business Intelligence. We think that over the next decade, telemetry will be used for a lot more than infrastructure operations, and joining telemetry with other business data will enable customers to extract orders of magnitude more value form it than they have access to today; and we will do this at a fraction of the cost of existing solutions, by leveraging a modern software architecture based on object storage, open data formats, and managed deployments in customers’ cloud infrastructure.
We are backed by Lauren Reeder and Alfred Lin from Sequoia Capital, Matthew Prince (Cloudflare), Calvin French-Owen (Segment), Jean-Denis Greze (Plaid), Jen Taylor (Plaid), and a group of the world’s best investors and operators.
