About Developer Tools investing

Developer tools angels back products used by engineers — CI/CD, observability, IDEs, APIs, testing, and the broader developer experience stack. Most effective investors have been engineers themselves or founded prior devtools companies, and they have strong opinions on developer-led adoption loops, pricing models, and community-driven distribution.

The best angels in this space help with hiring senior engineers, open-source positioning, and the motion from self-serve to enterprise expansion.

Companies in this space: Vercel, Linear, GitHub, Railway, Sentry, Retool, PostHog, and Supabase
