Developer Platforms & Tools
Why we invest
As infrastructure, data, and AI transform how developers build software and applications, the tools to apply and deploy these technologies must evolve to meet new demands. With the right tools, developers can unlock the next wave of applications with AI at their core and user experience as an equal citizen to core functionality. The evolution of the proprietary and open-source developer infrastructure stack, and the assist by AI, has resulted in a 100X increase in the total addressable market and developer productivity while delivering value to customers in hours and days versus months. The ultimate winners in this space are still emerging, and we believe most organizations will continue to arm and empower developers to own larger portions of budget to build the applications of the future. Madrona works with founders developing open-source and proprietary solutions to help them build and capture the hearts and minds of the next generation of developers.
