News: Announcing @alien's $5M Seed\n\nSome products exist because a founder got tired of building the same thing five times.\n\n@alongubkin spent years building BYOC infrastructure (the plumbing that lets a vendor run its software inside a customer's own cloud). He hit the problem at his prior startup Aporia), rebuilt it five times, then watched it show up all over again at the acquirer @Coralogix.\n\nEvery vendor selling into regulated or security-conscious enterprises eventually meets this wall: \"your software is great, but our data stays in our cloud.\" Today the answers are bad. Walk from the deal, or hand over a self-hosted version and inherit a maintenance nightmare with no way to debug it.\n\n@alien is the third option. Vendors ship into the customer's cloud and manage every deployment from one place, without sensitive data ever leaving the customer's account. And the need only grows as AI agents reach for the data that lives deepest inside enterprises.\n\nWe are thrilled to colead Alien's $5M seed round with Jibe, and to back Alon on this journey to bring BYOC to everyone.
