Strategic Profile

Cribl's vendor-agnostic platform provides a telemetry engine to automate investigations and unlock the value of all data, giving customers the choice, control, and flexibility to manage, investigate, and analyze telemetry for both humans and agents, with no lock-in, no data loss, and no compromises. The company became one of the fastest ever to surpass $100M ARR in October 2023, and has now doubled its ARR to $200M, growing more in the past 14 months than in the first four years as a company.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Cribl demonstrates exceptional execution with rapidly scaling ARR ($200M+), enterprise penetration (half of Fortune 100), strong unit economics (130%+ net dollar retention), and strategic product expansion. The company benefits from secular tailwinds in observability/AI infrastructure.
