Episode Details

Dash0 has raised a $100m Series B at a $1bn valuation after hitting over $10m ARR and growing faster than expected, becoming a unicorn just months after its Series A.

Mirko Novakovic, CEO of Dash0, says the shift to agent-generated code is driving this change, as software is deployed faster than it can be reviewed and observability becomes essential to keep systems running in production.
