What they build
The product, in plain terms
Quantum Leap builds observability priced for teams that log everything. The company started in Seattle in 2019. We backed it at pre-seed and have worked with the team through Series B.
- 01
A product engineers adopt on their own before anyone signs a contract.
- 02
Performance treated as a feature, with benchmarks published rather than claimed.
- 03
A commercial layer that begins where a team stops being one person and becomes an organisation.

Why we invested
The note from the first meeting
“We met Quantum Leap in 2019, back when developers loved things they would not pay for, and that gap was where most of these companies stalled. Two other firms passed in the same month. We thought they were solving for the wrong risk, and we were happy to be alone on the cap table for a while.”
- Signed its first design partner before the program ended.
- Shipped the enterprise tier without hiring a single sales engineer.
- Turned down an acquisition offer in year two and was right to.

Published the research the first version of the product was built on.

The version we would give another investor, including the years where nothing looked like progress.

We invested
We wrote the pre-seed check. David Chen has worked with the team ever since.

Series B round
Raised at $480M, led by an investor we introduced during diligence. We took our full pro rata.
