Big news today. Sawmills is exiting stealth and announcing our official launch along with $10M in seed funding, led by Team8 with participation from Mayfield and Alumni Ventures. Observability is more critical than ever—but it’s also expensive and inefficient. Companies are spending millions per year, yet much of their telemetry data adds no real value. DevOps and Engineering teams are forced to manage this manually, constantly cleaning logs, tuning pipelines, and fighting surprise cost spikes, all while sacrificing visibility. Sawmills changes the game with smart telemetry management: ?? AI-driven telemetry management – Optimize observability data before it's a issue ?? One-click automation – No more manual tuning—apply AI-powered fixes instantly ?? Cost & availability protection – Prevent runaway expenses before they happen ?? Full control & vendor flexibility – Route data intelligently and avoid lock-in Thank you to our investors, early adopters, and incredible team, including co-founders Ronit Belson, Amir Jakoby, and Erez Rusovsky —for bringing this vision to life. We can’t wait to show you what’s next. ?? Read more from CEO Ronit Belson → https://hubs.ly/Q037l6CW0 ?? See it in action → https://hubs.ly/Q037l5gP0

We are excited to announce that MirrorTab has raised $8.5 million in seed funding, led by Valley Capital Partners, with participation from GV (Google Ventures), Ludlow Ventures, Altman Capital Fund, NextGen Venture Partners, and Alumni Ventures. This funding will accelerate the development of our web security technology—which removes the browser as an attack surface—ensuring web applications and end-user sessions stay protected from hacking, bots, and malware without impacting performance or requiring additional software. Browsers have become a new battleground. Bad actors have evolved, leveraging AI and browser automation to evade detection, manipulate the DOM, and execute attacks that cannot be prevented with typical web security controls. That’s why we founded MirrorTab, to ensure online experiences are simple, secure, and authentic. ?? A huge thank you to our team, advisors, and the forward-thinking security organizations and experts working with us to shape and set the new standard in web security.

Read a note from our Founder & CEO, Brian Silverstein, on why we built MirrorTab and what’s next: https://lnkd.in/ev2JDrWm ?? We’re hiring!
