OllyGarden raises $4M from Datadog, Grafana Labs and Dash0 to cut telemetry waste by 85%

Berlin-based OllyGarden has raised $4 million to reduce unnecessary software telemetry data. The funding round included participation from Datadog, Grafana Labs, and Dash0 — companies that typically charge based on data volume. The startup addresses a growing problem: AI-generated code creates significantly more telemetry logs, metrics, and traces. This "noise" undermines AI agents that analyse such data, producing unreliable results. OllyGarden's solution includes Rose, an AI agent that examines OpenTelemetry code and suggests improvements. The company claims it has helped firms reduce log volume by up to 85%. CEO Juraci Paixão Kröhling sits on the OpenTelemetry governance committee and previously worked at Red Hat and Grafana Labs. The 10-person team secured this funding following a $1.6 million pre-seed round in July 2025, bringing total capital raised to approximately $5.6 million.

$1 billion NYC-startup Dash0 acquires Berlin tech company to build software that fixes itself.

$1 billion NYC-startup Dash0 acquires Berlin tech company to build software that fixes itself. Aug 17, 2026, 4:49 AM PT The American software startup Dash0 is going on a shopping spree: the New York City-headquartered observability company, founded by Mirko Novakovic, is acquiring Berlin-based startup Polar Signals, the companies announced on Monday. The acquisition is strategically interesting for Dash0 for several reasons. Polar Signals specializes in what is known as continuous profiling. Put simply, the technology allows developers to see exactly where their code is consuming computing power and memory - and where applications are becoming slow or expensive as a result. This is becoming particularly relevant amid the AI boom. Dash0 now plans to integrate the technology directly into its own platform. AI agents are supposed to hunt for performance issues themselves. Founded in 2023, Dash0 develops an observability platform for software teams. Companies can use it to monitor what is happening across their IT systems, identify errors, and analyze the performance of their applications. The acquisition is intended to take that analysis significantly deeper. Instead of merely detecting that a system is running slowly or consuming an unusual amount of resources, developers will be able to trace the cause down to individual functions and lines of code. What is even more interesting, however, is what Dash0 plans to do with that data: it wants to make it accessible not only to humans, but also to AI agents. The company is working on so-called agentic capabilities, in which AI systems not only write software but also monitor and improve it while it is running. In the future, profiling data will feed directly into this process through Dash0's Agent0. A new feature called "AutoTune," for example, is designed to continuously search for inefficient code. If the system identifies opportunities to reduce CPU or memory usage, it will automatically generate suggestions for improvements and prepare pull requests. The goal is for software to increasingly optimize itself. "Software is increasingly being written and operated by agents," says Dash0 founder and CEO Mirko Novakovic. Those agents therefore need precise information about "what code actually does" - down to the individual line of code, the kernel, and the costs it generates. The deal also gives Dash0 new database technology. The deal, however, is about more than simply adding another product feature. Dash0 is also acquiring the Polar Signals engineering team - and with it expertise that could become important for the unicorn's technical infrastructure. Polar Signals has been developing its own storage engine called "Great Lakes," specifically designed to handle large volumes of profiling data. Dash0 is now planning a major overhaul of its own infrastructure: Great Lakes is set to become the foundation of SignalStore, replacing ClickHouse. That could become increasingly important for Dash0 as the volume of data on its platform continues to grow. According to the company, Dash0 now has more than 750 customers, including Taco Bell and British newspaper The Telegraph (which, like Business Insider, is owned by Axel Springer). Dash0 recently reached a $1 billion valuation. For US investors and the enterprise software industry, Novakovic is not a newcomer. Before launching Dash0, he founded Instana, an application performance monitoring startup that competed in the same broad market as companies such as Datadog and New Relic. IBM acquired Instana in 2020 as part of its push into cloud and application management. Three years later, Novakovic teamed up with several former Instana employees to start Dash0. While the company has strong German roots and engineering ties to Europe, Dash0 is headquartered in New York City and is targeting the global enterprise software market. Most recently, Dash0 raised $110 million in a Series B funding round that valued the company at $1 billion, giving it unicorn status. Its investors include Balderton Capital, Accel, Cherry Ventures, DTCP, DIG Ventures, July Fund, and T.Capital. With Polar Signals, Dash0 is not simply buying additional features. The deal also offers a glimpse of where Novakovic wants to take the company: away from being a traditional monitoring tool and toward becoming a platform where AI agents can identify problems in code - and, ideally, fix them themselves before developers even need to intervene.

Dash0 named to Redpoint's 2026 InfraRed 100. [SAN FRANCISCO] - May 27, 2026 - Dash0, the Agentic Observability platform built on OpenTelemetry, today announced it has been named to Redpoint Ventures' 2026 InfraRed 100, an annual list recognizing ascendant private companies that are building the foundational infrastructure powering the next wave of AI innovation. Redpoint is a venture capital firm that has invested at the leading edge of platform shifts for decades, backing generational companies like Snowflake, Twilio, Ramp, Stripe, HashiCorp, and Netflix. Redpoint launched the InfraRed 100 in 2023 to recognize emerging companies building the backbone of the AI era across developer tools, security, data, enterprise platforms, and beyond. Being named to the Redpoint InfraRed 100 reflects something Dash0 Inc. has believed since day one: observability shouldn't be a tax, and your data should belong to you, not your vendor. Dash0 Inc. is not just building a better observability tool, Dash0 Inc. is building the AI nervous system for production, and going from 100 to 700 customers in under a year tells Dash0 Inc. this category is ready for it.Mirko Novakovic, CEO and Co-Founder of Dash0 To commemorate its fourth year, Redpoint is convening InfraRed 100 founders at SFMOMA for an evening of celebration and intimate discussion of the next chapter to come in the AI era.

Dash0 raises $110M at $1B valuation to change cloud observability with AI agents.

Dash0 raises $110M at $1B valuation to change cloud observability with AI agents. Agentic artificial intelligence observability platform Dash0 Inc. today announced it raised $110 million in new funding led by Balderton Capital. The Series B funding round values the company at $1 billion and brings the company's total funding to $155 million, including $35 million raised in October. Founded in 2023, Dash0 provides deep visibility into cloud environments using data drawn from apps called "telemetry" via an open-source framework called OpenTelemetry that standardizes the generation, collection and export of traces, metrics and logs. The platform uses AI agents to curate, triage and sift through the vast amount of noise generated by data pulled from cloud applications, ensuring it doesn't overwhelm DevOps and information technology teams. "We built Dash0 on a conviction that the next generation of production infrastructure couldn't be held hostage by proprietary data formats and runaway pricing," said co-founder and Chief Executive Mirko Novakovic. Enter Agent0, the company's autonomous operations intelligence AI agent. With the funding, the company said it is accelerating development of its platform of specialized AI agents that can transform raw data, logs and traces into autonomous actions. Agent0 agents can act on their own like site reliability engineers to find root causes of issues and give clear guidance on how to fix them, sometimes before problems actually affect customers. They can quickly produce dashboards that reveal actual insights rather than being blurry, messy designs that hide information under cascades of alerts. Cost agents help optimize spend and security agents detect and respond to anomalies. The company said since its deployment in 2023, it has signed on 600 paying customers, including global brands such as European e-commerce platform Zalando SE, fast food chain Taco Bell and publisher Telegraph Media Group Ltd. To stand out against market rivals such as Datadog Inc., which charge separately for different types of data ingested, Dash0 offers a simplified cost structure that charges by overall volume, irrespective of data. Ideally, the company believes this will allow companies that operate with vast quantities of multimodal data, AI, cloud apps and different use cases without worrying about what's producing what. Additional new investor DTCP Growth also joined the round, alongside existing investors Accel, Cherry Ventures and DIG Ventures, and strategic partners July Fund and T.Capital (Deutsche Telekom). The funding will go toward investing in growing and deepening the Agent0 platform, expanding the company's library of autonomous agents, and building on the core engineering roadmap. Dash0 said it intends to open the platform so that customers can build their own agents on top of its infrastructure and fund aggressive expansion, with a focus on the U.S. market, where it says demand from enterprise engineering teams is the strongest.
