Dublin-based B2B SaaS firm Bronto, which provides an AI-powered platform for storing and analyzing log data, has raised a $14 million seed funding round led by Cercano Management, alongside Heavybit and Conviction Capital.
- Launched in 2025 by Noel Ruane and Trevor Parsons, Bronto develops an AI-native log data platform designed to handle the scale and complexity of modern computing systems.
- The company’s software provides organizations with a unified logging layer that stores, searches, and analyzes vast amounts of log data in real time.
- It allows engineers to query petabytes of information with low latency and long-term retention, removing the need to separate “hot” and “cold” data.
- Built on proprietary infrastructure, Bronto’s system automates parsing, cost control, and storage optimization while maintaining compliance and security standards.
Details of the deal
- The seed round was led by Cercano Management Venture Capital, a Bellevue-based SEC-registered investment adviser founded in 2022, managing over $10 billion in assets with offices in the US and Singapore.
“We believe Bronto is well-positioned to build a category-defining company in the logging and observability market. We’re thrilled to support Noel and Trevor’s vision and to partner with team-Bronto through our lead investment," claims Lauren Glatter from Cercano Management Venture Capital.
- Bronto will use the new funding to expand its engineering and go-to-market teams, accelerate product development, and scale operations across Ireland and the United States.
- The company plans to strengthen its AI-native log data platform, enhance performance and cost efficiency for enterprise customers, and establish itself as the leading solution for managing large-scale log data in the AI era.
