Cribl continues to redefine the boundaries of the ever-expanding observability market. Clint and the team have rightfully earned their customers’ trust by solving real-world practitioner problems, and we couldn’t be happier to continue investing in our partnership with them.
Pat Grady Partner at Sequoia Sequoia
Cribl’s rapid growth has come from the consistent and powerful results experienced by its customers. It’s an honor to partner with Cribl’s deeply technical and seasoned team as they define the data platform category, similar to the way Salesforce did for sales and marketing and GitLab did for DevSecOps.
Michael McBride General Partner at GV Sequoia
What continues to excite us about Cribl is the team’s ability to deliver value to their customers, who absolutely love the products and team. Enterprise IT and security teams, be they customers or prospects, all repeat that as data volumes grow rapidly, using Cribl has allowed them to remove the false choice between observing more data and paying more dollars.
Cack Wilhelm General Partner at IVP IVP
Cribl is a truly unique company and we could not be more excited to continue our partnership with their fantastic team. We frequently hear from customers that Cribl empowers them to have full control and choice over their observability data, which has emerged as one of the fastest-growing needs of enterprises in nearly every industry.

Our Values

Cribl, like all companies, is a collection of individuals with diverse backgrounds and unique stories. We all come to this company with our own personal values, but as we come together collectively we want to align the company around a shared set of values that we embrace. These values serve as guidance to our current and future employees as to what makes Cribl, Cribl.

Customers First, Always

First we help customers.
Then everything else.

Irreverent, but Serious

We are a serious company
with a love for goats and jokes.

Insatiably Curious

We seek to understand problems
and the people who have them
before taking action.

Open and Authentic

Driving clarity is a strategic
advantage. Communication is
easier when we are real.

Excel Together

We challenge and support each other

to greater levels of execution to
create an enduring impact.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSIVITY

We believe in an inclusive workplace

Diversity drives innovation, enables better decisions to support our customers, and inspires change for the better. We’re building a culture where differences are valued and welcomed. We work together to bring out the best in each other.

We are building the company that will become the industry leader in IT and Security data. But, doing that doesn’t mean we’re always serious. We approach our work fearlessly, learn quickly, improve constantly, and celebrate our wins at every turn. And more importantly, we laugh a lot. Like, a lot a lot. We jest, we joke, we kid. We are irreverent, but that never detracts from our mission; in fact, it enhances it, because it makes the mission more fun.
