About Us

Cribl is the AI Platform for Telemetry. We partner with IT and Security teams at many of the world’s largest enterprises, including half of the Fortune 100, to bridge the gap between AI ambition and infrastructure reality. Our vendor-agnostic platform provides a telemetry engine to automate investigations and unlock the value of all your data. At Cribl, we give 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.

Where we came from

Our Story

Cribl was founded to solve a simple but painful problem: telemetry was exploding, but the tools to manage and search it were rigid, expensive, and siloed. IT and Security teams were forced to choose between visibility and cost, and every investigation meant jumping between fragmented systems and more vendor lock‑in.

We started by giving customers a better way to route and shape telemetry, so they could keep more data, send it to the right places, and stay in control of their strategy. That quickly evolved into a broader vision: build the vendor‑agnostic telemetry platform for the AI era—one that makes every signal searchable and usable for investigations, wherever it lives.

Today, as AI transforms how organizations work, that vision matters more than ever. Telemetry is the signal for practitioners, the fuel for agents, and the foundation for next‑generation operations and investigations. Cribl is here to make sure that telemetry is portable, interoperable, and searchable at AI scale, so our customers can investigate faster and build what’s next.

Customers First, Always

Customer love is a team sport. We understand how to work cross functionally to balance customer needs and expectations. It’s not just the what, it’s also the how. When we work closely together, we can concentrate our focus on delivering the best customer experience.

Cribl Values_Irreverent.png

Irreverent, but Serious

We’re a serious company, with a serious love of goats, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously! We want to come to work every day and have FUN while also getting sh*t done. We’re real goats people after all!

Cribl Values_Curious.png

Insatiably Curious

We are curious goats; hungry for information, ideas, and innovation! We’ve never met a problem we weren’t excited to solve, and putting ourselves in our customers’ shoes helps us do just that. We bring curiosity into everything we do.

Cribl Values_Open.png

Open and Authentic

Driving clarity is a strategic advantage. We encourage transparency across the organization and are intentional in ensuring that everyone who needs to know, knows. Information without context causes confusion, but clear is kind, and that’s our aim. When we’re all aligned and empowered, we win!

Cribl Values_Excel.png

Excel Together

We’re not just here to do work. We’re here to do great work, and that’s not something we can achieve when it’s every goat for themselves. We can’t goat it alone and we are stronger as a herd. When we bring other people along we get there faster, iterate more quickly, and create greater impact. When we excel together, we win!
