Austin Inno – Brent Wistrom
Now a company focused on monitoring for application errors in real-time with code-scanning technology has raised new funding and expanded its executive team. Airbrake, which has a remote team and leadership split between the Bay Area and Austin, announced Thursday it raised an $11 million round of funding led by Austin-based Elsewhere Partners. The company merged with Exceptional Cloud Services in 2012 and was acquired by Rackspace in 2013. Rackspace later sold the business to San Francisco VC firm Turn/River. In addition to the new funding, Airbrake also announced it added several new leaders, including CEO Treb Ryan, formerly of Dimension Data and OpSource. Other additions include Shelley Perry as executive chairman, Eric Anderson as CTO, Chad Savoy as CRO and Joe Godfrey as CPO. The startup provides a full-stake app monitoring service that helps accelerate feedback cycles. It integrates with common applications, including Slack, GitHub and JIRA. Its website notes that engineers at Twitch, Netflix, Salesforce and Adobe use its services.
