Cribl ARR hit $200M

Cribl, founded in 2018, has emerged as a powerhouse in telemetry data management—especially across IT and cybersecurity stacks. Their key offerings include Cribl Stream (observability pipeline), Cribl Edge (vendor-neutral data agent), Cribl Search (search-in-place), and Cribl Lake (cost-efficient data lake). These capabilities enable organizations to centralize, filter, route, and store telemetry data from any source to any destination, solving major pain points around vendor lock-in, high ingestion costs, and fragmented data visibility.

In January 2025, Cribl surpassed $200 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR), marking a remarkable >70% year-over-year growth from $100 million in October 2023—when it had reached centaur status (i.e., $100M ARR in under four years). The company now supports telemetry workflows at 43 of the Fortune 100 and 130 of the Fortune 500, with net revenue retention over 130–145%, alongside a 123% increase in monthly active users in the past year. Backed by a $319 million Series E in August 2024 at a $3.5 billion valuation, with total funding reaching around $600 million, Cribl is targeting cash-flow positivity in 2025 and eyeing a public offering in the near future.

Cribl’s meteoric rise underscores its essential role in helping enterprises manage exploding telemetry volumes—often reducing Splunk ingestion costs by 30–90%, and offering up to 1 TB/day of ingestion for free with Cribl Lake. With over 800 global employees, a suite of high-impact IT/security data products, strong retention and growth metrics, and growing recognition (Forbes Cloud 100 #1 startup employer in 2025), Cribl is well-positioned to lead the infrastructure software category and drive deep enterprise adoption.
