After its start in 2011, Scalyr has resorted to venture capital to expand its operations. In 2015, the company raised a $2.1 million seed round led by Susa Ventures. The other investors in the round were Bloomberg Beta, Google Ventures, Sherpalo Ventures and Othman Laraki.^[5]

Acquisition by SentinelOne
