New visitor? Welcome! I’m David Mytton, previously co-founder and CEO of SaaS cloud monitoring startup, Server Density.
I started Server Density in 2009 and it was acquired by StackPath in 2018 where I joined to lead Product Engineering for a suite of security products generating $200m in revenue from over 1 million customers worldwide.
I also founded the HumanOps community and advise Seedcamp, a London-based VC fund worth over $3bn (who also funded Server Density).
