en.Wedoany.com Reported - Sazabi, an observability platform for AI-native engineering teams, announced it has secured $8 million in seed funding. The round was co-led by J2 Ventures, Village Global, and Y Combinator, with participation from Orange Collective and over 60 angel investors from companies including Vercel, Cursor, LangChain, OpenAI, Anthropic, GitHub, Replit, and Browserbase. The funding will be used to expand the engineering team, accelerate product development, and deepen integrations with modern cloud and developer platforms.
Targeting fast-paced engineering teams, the Sazabi platform positions itself as an observability tool for the AI era. Its core approach uses AI agents to understand a team's logs, infrastructure, and codebase, proactively detecting, investigating, and resolving production issues, replacing traditional manual dashboard configuration and incident response workflows. The company's technical philosophy revolves around the concept that "logs are everything," treating log data as the single source of truth for understanding production systems. It uses AI to reconstruct the views engineers need from log data, thereby reducing instrumentation complexity.
Sherwood Callaway, founder and CEO of Sazabi, stated that AI has changed how software is written and is now changing how it is operated, yet monitoring, debugging, and incident response remain stuck in the pre-AI era. Sazabi aims to rebuild observability from first principles to adapt to a world where agents are part of the engineering team.
Since its public launch, the product attracted 50 new teams within two weeks during its closed beta phase, ran 8,000 background checks, detected 2,000 issues, and initiated 200 pull requests against customer code repositories. After adopting the platform, Liam Germain, CTO of legal software provider Sandstone, noted that the platform caught issues that might have otherwise been missed and fixed them before customers noticed.
Sazabi was founded by Sherwood Callaway, a two-time Y Combinator founder with over 10 years of experience building infrastructure and observability systems at companies like Brex and Crunchbase. The team includes early members of Brex's infrastructure engineering team and past founders in the observability space. The company was founded in 2025 and is headquartered in San Francisco.
Hunter Walk, founding partner at Homebrew, commented that Sherwood is a technical, second-time founder with a clear product vision and deep domain expertise. Christine Keung, general partner at J2 Ventures, noted that existing observability tools were built for a more deterministic world, while Sazabi is defining observability for the AI-native era.
