The Company

Grafana Labs is the company behind Grafana, an open-source platform for visualizing and querying operational data. Its commercial products extend the ecosystem into managed observability, including monitoring for metrics, logs, traces, profiles, and incident response.

The company reported more than $400 million in annual recurring revenue and more than 7,000 customers in September 2025. It completed a secondary transaction that month, although the company did not disclose a new valuation or capital amount.

Why It Matters

Observability sits close to the core infrastructure of modern software and AI deployments. Grafana Labs is a useful private-market benchmark for how open-source developer products can build enterprise-scale recurring revenue without relying solely on a proprietary software model.
