Catchpoint: Your server is fine. Your customer isn’t.
Between a healthy server and a happy customer lies an Internet full of other people’s problems. Catchpoint built a business by watching that awkward middle.
Hammer makes the bad call before your customers do
A contact center can answer the phone and still fail the caller. Hammer built a business testing the whole journey - and its next chapter, inside Infovista’s VistaCX, reaches from the voice menu to the AI agent.
eG Innovations and the Case of the Innocent Server
Every team has a healthy dashboard. The user still has a slow application. eG Innovations built a business around finding the trouble between those two facts.
Checkly
Checkly is a developer-first synthetic monitoring and reliability platform that lets engineering teams define uptime, API, and browser checks as version-controlled code. Built on Microsoft's Playwright framework and OpenTelemetry, it runs checks from 20+ global locations and layers in AI-driven root cause analysis. Founded in 2018 and headquartered with roots in Berlin, Checkly serves 1,000+ customers - including Vercel, 1Password, CrowdStrike, and Mistral - and has raised $32.25M, most recently a $20M Series B led by Balderton Capital in 2024.
New Relic
New Relic is a San Francisco-based, AI-powered observability platform that gives engineering teams a single place to see everything running in their software - from application code and infrastructure to logs, user experience, and AI models. Founded in 2008 by Lew Cirne, it helped popularize application performance monitoring (APM) and later coined much of the modern 'observability' category. After going public in 2014 and being taken private in a $6.5 billion deal in 2023, New Relic now serves thousands of companies with usage-based, consumption pricing and a strong bet on AI and agentic observability.
