Sazabi is a next-generation observability platform designed for fast-moving, AI-native engineering teams.

If you're using Datadog, Sentry, Grafana, or Axiom today, you could be moving ten times faster with @sazabi.

Congrats on the launch, @shcallaway!

Introducing HydraDB.

The graph native context infrastructure for agents. Purpose built to deliver precise context & observability into why agents act the way they do.

We've always believed graphs are the best way to manage AI context, but they've been too expensive to scale or impractical for storing full context. Until now.

@hydra_db combines in memory, NVMe, and object storage into a single graph layer, making context delivery faster, cheaper, and more precise.

We want context delivery to be extremely fast, 1000x cheap, and highly precise. Give your agents a brain.

@kevinsimler, @aaymeloglu, @laura_yao, and the @CommitCapital team have been phenomenal and truly lived up to their reputation as "the only VC you'll find in your GitHub history" 🙂

Congrats on the launch!

Life update: I cofounded a VC firm. God help me!

Please see our announcement (QTed) — but allow me to contextualize

I knew I liked the @CommitCapital team when I found out they worked closely with my first-ever manager from @brexHQ (who is still a good friend & mentor).

Excited that they've announced their fund and that @sazabi was one of their early checks!

Today we're introducing Commit Capital: a $15M fund investing in technical founders at the earliest stage of building. We invest in B2B software, with a focus on dev tools and infrastructure. The unique structure of our fund follows from a simple observation: Get engineering moving faster, get to PMF faster.

- There are five of us (@kevinsimler, @aaymeloglu, @laura_yao, Brandon Burr, and Javier Lopez) , which is a staffing ratio that would make a normal fund's LP base raise an eyebrow. That gives our founders more hands-on resources per dollar invested than any other fund.
- Four of us were among the earliest engineers at Palantir, where we built and led development of the commercial product for over a decade. We've shipped software at speed and at scale, managed the kind of technical debt that accumulates when a product grows faster than its architecture planned for, recruited and managed one of the best workforces in tech, and spent a long time in the rooms where the hardest engineering calls get made.
- We don't want to be VCs. Okay, one of us is a normal, card-carrying VC, but the other four are spending the majority of their time embedded in our portfolio companies, working alongside the teams. Not advising (we don’t believe in advice) but building. If you raise from us, you get engineers who have done this before helping you ship sh*t faster.

We've been writing checks for several months already. @hydra_db , @sazabi , and @VibiumDev are a few we can talk about; several others aren't public yet. If you're building in dev tools or infrastructure and want engineers in the (virtual) room, not just on the cap table, please reach out!
