Tempest, a San Francisco, CA-based provider of a developer platform helping engineering teams ship better code faster, raised $3.2M in funding.
The round was led by Abstract Ventures, with participation from Box Group and Background Capital, alongside strategic investments from Max Mullen (co-founder of Instacart), Jason Chan (former VP of InfoSec at Netflix), and Mike Abbott (former VP of Engineering at Apple).
The company intends to use the funds to expand operations and its development efforts.
Founded by Ken Kouot, Lukasz Jagiello, and Eric Skram, Tempest helps teams build, deploy, and manage independently, with built-in security and compliance guardrails. With its unified platform, organizations boost developer productivity, accelerate time to market, and optimize return on engineering investments.
The platform combines a comprehensive internal developer portal for service visibility and tracking with a DX platform that enables self-serve workflows. While other solutions stop at showing what’s happening in the stack, Tempest turns insights into action with built-in automations that work out of the box. The platform comes with a rich ecosystem of integrations that can be easily extended through its developer-friendly SDK, eliminating the months of setup typically required with existing solutions.
