Crashlytics, A Crash-Reporting Solution For Mobile Developers, Raises $1 Million

I find it incredible that it is possible to raise $1 million for something with no revenues, little barrier to entry, and that can be written by a very good hacker or two in a few months... Maybe I'm missing something. Anyway, congrats to them!<p>I'm just wondering how much one could raise revenues doubling twice in the last 2 years and more than half a million expected in the next 12 months.

Heh. I built something like this about 6 months ago. And they got a million dollars.<p><i>scratches chin</i>

A great lightweight solution to a universal problem -- there's simply no way to fully test an app for all the possible environmental conditions that might cause errors (prior to a release). I like that the SDK is microscopic and doesn't require apps to ship with debug symbols. Debug symbols can increase the size of an app exponentially, so this is a huge space saver. Wayne and Jeff know software, and I wouldn't expect anything less than an elegant utility that does what is needed, and doesn't bloat up the app and cause errors of its own. I expect great things from these guys.

So, technology aside, how do you plan to sell this thing? Larger developers have this problem nailed down already, so that leaves medium and small developers for you. Do you have plans to reach the masses? <i>That</i> would be a very interesting innovation.

This could very easily trim out months of debugging that we have to do with releases across platforms, Looking forward to giving it a run through our dev cycles

stay tuned; I've gotten a sneak peak of the product, and you'll be blown away by how useful and simple it is. When I showed it to mobile app dev friends(who've tried to build this themselves), they all said that they needed this yesterday.

Incredibly smart and complementary founding team. If our enterprise apps used Crashlytics, I'd probably not lose so much productivity over crashes and updates that dont seem to fix anything.

Is this like TestFlight[1] but for apps that are already in consumers hands? (i.e. not BETA testing)<p>[1]<a href="https://testflightapp.com/" rel="nofollow">https://testflightapp.com/</a>

Congrats guys, welcome to the space!<p>-Team Crittercism

Wow, their landing page is pretty slick. Check out their app thingy on the inside page.
