Top Developer Tools Startups in 2024

LogRocket was founded in 2016 by Matthew Arbesfeld and Ben Edelstein, a computer science duo who have been building products together since the 3rd grade. Frustrated by how difficult it was to understand their customers' experiences, Arbesfeld and Edelstein set out towards an audacious goal: make every experience on the web as perfect as possible. By recording videos of user sessions along with logs and network data, LogRocket intelligently highlights UX issues and surfaces the root cause of every bug. Backed by top investors like Matrix Partners and Battery Ventures, we're on a mission to improve society's experience with software.

At Mezmo (formerly LogDNA) we're building a fast, modern log management platform that offers the flexibility of an amazing developer experience with the trust of enterprise-grade infrastructure and compliance. Whether you're two dogs in a garage, or hundreds of developers all working towards a single goal (IBM, Instacart, Lime Bike), you can trust us with anywhere from kilobytes to petabytes of logs. We're in a golden age for developers, and we're no longer willing to settle for legacy architectures or slow, buggy, "Enterprise" experiences. We are passionate about building a consumer quality product experience, architected for modern development trends like containerization and hybrid cloud environments, as well as around modern tooling like Kubernetes. We're venture-backed by Emergence Capital (of Salesforce, Box, and Gusto fame), and Initialized Capital (of Reddit, Coinbase, and Patreon fame). We're hiring rapidly and looking for more like-minded, ambitious folks eager to change the status quo!
