Odigos, a NYC-based provider of an eBPF-based observability platform, raised $13M in funding.
The round was led by Venture Guides with participation from Salesforce Ventures, Mango Capital and Firestreak Ventures, and angel investors including Martin Mao, CEO and Co-founder of Chronosphere, Christine Yen, CEO and Co-founder of Honeycomb and Ben Sigelman, Co-founder and CEO of Lightstep (acquired by ServiceNow).
The company intends to use the funds to expand operations and its development efforts.
Founded in 2023 by Ari Recht (CEO) and Eden Federman (CTO), Odigos aims to simplify distributed tracing by enabling customers to monitor data requests as they flow through their system, without requiring code changes or impacting performance. Leveraging eBPF and OpenTelemetry, it provides a solution for diagnosing and resolving performance issues, supporting a wide range of programming languages and frameworks.
To address developers’ challenges, Odigos uses eBPF, a kernel-level technology to automate the implementation of distributed tracing. Its technology delivers automatic context propagation for fully accurate distributed tracing in OpenTelemetry, the second-most popular open-source technology after Kubernetes, allowing customers to use it with any observability tool.
