Overview
Hydrolix builds a streaming data lake for log and observability workloads — combining stream processing, decoupled storage, high-density compression, and indexed search so security, media, and adtech teams query terabytes in real time without paying classic hot-storage prices.
Founded in 2018 in Portland by Marty Kagan (ex-Akamai, Cedexis) and Hasan Alayli (ex-Splunk), the company raised an $80M Series C in April 2025 led by QED Investors with Blumberg, Frontline, Pruven, Sozo, and existing backers including Oregon Venture Fund. Total funding exceeds $148M per company and press materials.
Why Hydrolix is interesting
Portland's clearest infra scale-up outside climate hardware: $80M Series C (Apr 2025) led by QED after Oregon Venture Fund backed the 2021 round — proof Oregon seed can graduate into national growth capital on observability economics, not just brand.
