Key Takeaways

  • Two decades ago he built application software company Terracotta Inc.

    , later sold to Software AG, and he architected the first version of Walmart.

  • At the center of the launch is SmartHub, an open-source foundation built as a Kubernetes and OpenTelemetry-native self-managing cluster.

    It gives engineering teams control over their telemetry data and intercepts that data at the edge, inside a customer's own cloud or on-premises systems, rather than shipping large volumes to third-party dashboards.

  • Companies often lack the visibility to govern those changes safely at scale, MyDecisive said, leaving the performance, security and cost data those systems generate unused until an incident forces a response.

    "For the past three years, we have been quietly building the infrastructure that enterprises actually need, rather than the hype they've been sold," Zilka said.

  • Jason Pressman, a managing partner at the firm, said MyDecisive delivers an autonomous system that resolves errors and prevents outages before human intervention is required.

    Copper Sky Capital, formerly known as AZ-VC, typically leads or co-leads seed and Series A rounds in AI-first software startups.
