🚀 Bob, no surprise, you did it again! In a market that seems frozen solid for exits, you pulled off the impossible. We appreciate all you have done over the last four years and driving Circonus to the acquisition by Apica. Also, special thanks to Noreen, Brian, Theo, George, Joanna, Brian, David, Baird Capital, Osage Venture Partners, NewSpring
Big news! Apica and Circonus are joining forces and this is gonna be fun to watch. "The acquisition of Circonus will solidify Apica’s position as a trailblazer in data management and observability" and I'm excited to see what the combined Circonus <> Apica team can do. ❤️ To the team at Circonus both past and present, you have much to be proud of including building one of the most performant time series databases in the industry with IRONdb and the industry's first dynamic telemetry management solution with Passport to address skyrocketing observability costs. You guys were awesome and I can't thank you enough for all your sacrifice and hard work. Congrats to founder Theo Schlossnagle! 📈 To our customers at HBO, Google, Redfin, Xandr, EA Sports, and many others - you're in good hands with a combined company that now has greater size and scale, enhanced technology and offerings, global reach, and the strong financial backing of the combined team of investors. ✍🏻 Big thanks also to our partners at Baird Capital, NewSpring, Osage Venture Partners, Bull City Venture Partners, and Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern PA for all your support over the past 5 years. As for me? After a 5-year run, I'm gonna catch my breath and enjoy an empty inbox, an eventless calendar, and no Slack notifications - at least for a couple weeks :) I look forward to reconnecting with folks as I explore the next chapter. To Mathias Thomsen and Patrik Edvinson - I wish you every success in the years ahead. 🏆🏆🏆 Onwards! https://lnkd.in/eZyDmMRT
