It uses knowledge graphs, large language models, and agents to gather context, cross-reference data, and produce a complete, auditable investigation for analysts to review and act upon. Deployed on-premises, in private cloud, or fully air-gapped — no data leaves the customer's environment. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total Funding — **$30M** raised across two rounds - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Menlo Ventures (led Series A), Tola Capital (led Seed round). Board members include Tim Tully (former CTO, Splunk) and Brad Lovering (advisor, former Chief Architect at Splunk and Microsoft Technical Fellow). - **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew **105.6% YoY** (+19 people) to 31 employees as of mid-2025. The company is deployed in "some of the world's most demanding security environments, federal agencies, critical infrastructure, Fortune 500 enterprises." Already investigating **1,000+ alerts daily** for a U.S. Defense Agency and a Fortune 500 Financial Institution. ## Competitive Advantages - **Neurosymbolic AI architecture**: Combines knowledge graphs, LLMs, and security best practices for reasoning, not just pattern matching — producing auditable, analyst-recognizable findings. - **Customer-managed deployment**: Runs inside the customer's infrastructure (on-prem, private cloud, air-gapped) — no data ever leaves the environment, a critical requirement for defense, intelligence, and regulated industries. - **Works with existing stack on day one**: No schema normalization, no recoding — integrates natively with SIEM, EDR, ticketing, and data lake tools. - **Leadership with deep domain credibility**: Founders and leadership spent careers at Splunk, Databricks, Mandiant, HSBC, and IBM Research. They have lived the SOC problem for over a decade. ## Strategic Focus - **Scale the team**: Actively hiring for Growth Marketer, Account Executive, Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Applied Security Researcher, and Software Engineer (Product). - **Expand enterprise and federal footprint**: Already deployed at a U.S. Defense Agency and a Fortune 500 financial institution; likely targeting more critical infrastructure and government clients. - **Product depth**: Continuing to build autonomous investigation, threat hunting, and re-analysis capabilities for existing alerts — moving toward full SOC automation without replacing existing tools. ## Why Work Here - **Remote-first**: "Work from wherever you do your best thinking. No mandates, no surveillance software, no 'culture of presence' theater." The company is distributed and trusts employees to deliver. - **Real healthcare**: "Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision. No gotcha deductibles. No 'wellness stipend' disguised as a benefits package." - **Leadership that's done the work**: Founders and leaders spent years in SOC trenches at Splunk, Databricks, Mandiant, and HSBC. They are building a solution they personally needed. - **Frontier work**: "We use the best available tools and approaches, including the ones that are still being figured out. This is frontier work. We expect ambiguity and we build through it." - **High-impact, small team**: "We're a small team solving a large problem. Every person at Crogl works directly on technology that's deployed in some of the world's most demanding security environments." - **Values-driven culture**: Emphasizes "In Service to Others," "Ownership Without Ego," "Confidence Through Competence," and "Tech Forward" — building for analysts, not for demos. ## Sources 1.
