Clint Sharp, Cribl CEO: A Fortt Knox Update

Cribl CEO Clint Sharp tells Fortt Knox the firm passed $300M ARR — under a year after $200M — as enterprises rush to modernize telemetry infrastructure for agentic AI. The company has backed an HBR report that finds decade-old systems built for humans buckle under agent loads 5-10x larger. Customers know they need an agentic AI strategy but legal and security teams aren't ready. His pitch: cloud-native lakehouses and elastic compute. CPU/GPU scaling now moves 1:1 with agent rollout.
