Dash0-Team: Mirko Novakovic, Miel Donkers, Marcel Birkner, Ben Blackmore and Michaele Mancioppi Dash0 Dash0 is acquiring Berlin startup Polar Signals. It's building AI agents that can monitor and improve software in real time. The deal brings Polar Signals' continuous profiling technology to Dash0's platform. The American software startup Dash0 is going on a shopping spree: the New York City-headquartered observability company, founded by Mirko Novakovic, is acquiring Berlin-based startup Polar Signals, the companies announced on Monday. The acquisition is strategically interesting for Dash0 for several reasons. Polar Signals specializes in what is known as continuous profiling. Put simply, the technology allows developers to see exactly where their code is consuming computing power and memory — and where applications are becoming slow or expensive as a result. This is becoming particularly relevant amid the AI boom. Dash0 now plans to integrate the technology directly into its own platform.
