About
Sazabi is a San Francisco-based AI-native observability platform for fast-moving engineering teams, founded in 2025 by Sherwood Callaway, a two-time Y Combinator founder who previously built infrastructure and observability systems at Brex and Crunchbase 12. Built around chat, autonomous agents, and a logs-first architecture, Sazabi treats log data as the single source of truth for production systems, helping teams detect, investigate, and fix issues faster 12. The company emerged from Y Combinator’s spring 2026 batch and reports that in closed alpha it onboarded 50 new teams in two weeks, ran 8,000 background investigations, detected 2,000 issues, and opened 200 pull requests against customer code repositories 12.
