Vinod Khosla

Founder, Khosla Ventures

A lot of developers today start their days by looking at the list of issues and bug fixes and thinking about which ones to tackle first. Often, the code they end up writing or modifying has little or no significance to how customers use the product and features. DevRev's bold, yet simple vision to bring the developers closer to the customers is one of those groundbreaking ideas we feel will affect every single company in the future.

Navin Chaddha

Managing Director, Mayfield Fund

Technology decisions are moving from a Return on Investment model to the Rise of the Individual, the new “ROI” model. DevRev addresses the fundamental question of how to empower and elevate the future individual developer — to become truly business-focused — as conscious entrepreneurs who connect their work to revenue, end users, and markets.

Ravi Mhatre

Managing Director, Lightspeed Ventures

Dheeraj and I spent a whole decade building a new category that brought such delight to Nutanix customers, and eventually to its shareholders who participated in the massive business model shift to subscription. I am looking forward to this empty canvas of DevRev, in how it canonicalizes yet another business model: PLG.

Deepak Malhotra

Professor, Harvard Business School

The key to value creation in business (as in everything else) is empathy. DevRev’s transformative approach leverages data, design, and AI to apply this insight where it matters most: towards eliminating the social distance between makers and users. It is a business model that situates the core drivers of value — developers & revenue generating customers — at the center of everything, not just in rhetoric, but in practice.

Gokul Rajaram

Product and Business Helper, Doordash

I believe that talent is global and not confined to a specific city or region. I believe that talent is diverse across every dimension that defines us as humans. I believe the best leaders are able to bring together global, diverse teams and inspire them to become a team that’s greater than the sum of the parts, and to do their best work. DevRev is one such place that brings all of these together and I am incredibly excited to be part of this journey.

Rajiv Batra

Co-founder, Palo Alto Networks

Engineers and developers are constantly seeking meaningful connections to users of their products. It is my strong belief that to build more effective solutions, critical need exists for mechanisms that break silos between creators and the users. I look forward to DevRev’s maker-consumer APIs and social experiences in how they bring these passionate, connected creators closer to their users.

Sanjit Singh Dang, PhD

Co-Founder, U First Capital

DevRev goes way beyond enabling the PLG era. DevRev is a game-changer for the startup world. It doubles developers' learning velocity by creating a direct lightning channel to the customers, enabling faster product iterations. I'm excited to see DevRev democratizing customer access for makers and building a much-needed CRM with innovation at its centerpiece.

Mark Ghermezian

Founder and General Partner, m]x[v Capital

During my time building Braze, a key to our success was we emphasized on closely listening to customers in order to find product-market fit. DevRev allows companies to unlock and organize PMF insights (sales,support,product integration) while managing customers allows PMs and developers to adapt the product quickly. DevRev was a no-brainer investment considering it's exceptional founders and this complex problem they're solving.

Moriz Martiner

Principal, Audeo Ventures

My years as a software engineer revealed that as companies expand, they tend to add more and more human and software layers between customers and developers. Each of these layers can cause delays, mistakes, and a loss of information, frustrating both developers and customers. DevRev offers a groundbreaking solution to these problems by bringing everyone involved with the product onto a single platform, resulting in improved cost, time, and personnel efficiencies.

Indraneel Shah

Co-Founder, Intuitive.VC

In the beginning one could guess the time of the day….then someone built a watch. The same will be said about DevRev in the context of Product Development. Providing a true telemetry of the customer’s needs, usage and issues directly into the hands of the developers is a concept that immediately resonated with us, and we felt compelled to be part of this game-changing journey.

Hernando Bunuan

Founder & Managing Partner, Z2Sixty Ventures

I am impressed with DevRev's approach to empowering their customers to involve engineers in the solution-building process at a direct and inclusive level with the users. Not only does this lead to faster product development and a positive culture, but it also fosters strong and lasting relationships with users. Overall, I am excited about the future of DevRev and their team.

Mythili Sankaran

Founding Managing Partner, Neythri Futures Fund. CEO & Co-founder, Neythri

In today’s PLG era, DevRev is a trailblazer in its API-first developer-centric CRM offering. Being product builders themselves, DevRev’s co-founders, Dheeraj and Manoj present an undisputed founder-market fit, having experienced the pain points themselves, as they look to bring developers to the front-end of decision-making. The Neythri Futures Fund is also fully aligned behind DevRev’s mission to democratize fundraising as it leads the way by tokenizing its funding process.

The investment is a SAFE Token, saved in your secure digital wallet on the blockchain

Our SAFE Token is a security offered under a Reg D filing with the SEC and represents a digital version of a typical SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity), and will be converted into DevRev equity at the time of a qualified financing (as described in the agreement). We have digitized our SAFE agreement on our cap table and securely save it as a token(s) in your personal digital wallet on the blockchain. The SAFE Token is encoded into a smart contract that resides on a blockchain to maintain transparency and immutability. Over time, certain summarized user and product usage data may also be disclosed in the blockchain.
