Backed by leading investors including a16z and Bessemer Venture Partners, Imply is on a fast growth trajectory, transforming how organizations manage and gain insights from their observability and security data. Our customers, including Pepsi, Reddit, Roblox, Salesforce, and others, rely on our technology to power faster decisions, reduce costs, and unlock new possibilities.
