Irish Startup Bronto Raises €12M To Transform AI-Powered Log Data Management

The round was led by Cercano Management, with participation from Heavybit and Conviction Capital.

“The shift to AI represents the biggest transformation in computing infrastructure requirements ever, but even pre-AI, logging solutions have not kept pace”, commented Bronto Co-founder and Co-CEO, Noel Ruane.

Infrastructure, observability, developer tools, and AI-native data platforms have seen strong funding growth over the past year.

Examples include Rerun (€15.6M Seed) addressing data and telemetry, Cloudsmith (€21.9M Series B), and Qovery (€11.3M Series A) enhancing developer productivity and infrastructure reliability.

Bronto stands out as one of the few Irish startups in 2025 securing major funding in this space.

“Organisations continue to be forced into painful tradeoffs: pay astronomical bills for ‘just-adequate’ retention, or delete critical data needed for debugging, security, and compliance. And now, in an agentic world – where intelligence meets data – maintaining all of your log data has never been more critical for companies to leverage and reap the real benefits of AI.

“Our goal is to be the world’s number 1 logging platform for all users and use cases,” continued Bronto Co-founder and Co-CEO, Noel Ruane.

Founded in 2024, Bronto is an AI-native log data platform redefining logging for the modern enterprise. Co-founded by serial entrepreneurs Noel Ruane (Voysis, acquired by Apple) and Trevor Parsons (LogEntries, acquired by Rapid7), Bronto helps mid-market and enterprise customers retain and use all log data without costly trade-offs.

Its proprietary platform removes infrastructure bottlenecks in large-scale AI deployments, enabling organisations to fully leverage both real-time and historical logs. By combining AI with domain-specific logging expertise, Bronto eliminates operational toil and unlocks new use cases, allowing companies to extract true value from all their data while managing costs efficiently.

“Logging is fundamentally broken, unfit for the volume of data the AI-era has brought, and Bronto fixes that,” said Trevor Parsons, Co-founder and Co-CEO. “Our team has a combined 150+ years of experience building and operating proprietary log-engines and platforms at global scale in both private, venture-backed and public companies. I don’t believe you could handpick a better group of engineers than our team at Bronto. Both Noel and I couldn’t be more excited to lead this incredible team.”

Bronto will use the funds to strengthen its go-to-market capabilities while further expanding its already top-tier engineering team.

Industry expert and investor Joseph Ruscio concluded:”I’ve seen countless attempts to modernise log management, and they all fall short in some way – whether efficiency, scale, or usability. What Bronto has created is revolutionary and represents a true disruption in this space. Everyone at Heavybit is incredibly excited to partner with such an experienced pair of entrepreneurs already executing at this level.”
