Mirko Novakovic is the founder and CEO of Dash0. Mirko co-founded Dash0 in 2023 with the mission to reinvent observability for the modern ai-native era. Drawing on his experience as the co-founder of Instana (acquired by IBM in 2020), he set out to build an OpenTelemetry-native platform that cuts through the noise of metrics, logs, and traces to make complex systems understandable again. Since launch, Dash0 has grown rapidly, serving hundreds of customers worldwide. Mirko is a seasoned founder, angel investor in over 80 startups, and an active voice in the European tech ecosystem. When he’s not building companies, Mirko enjoys spending time with his family and exploring nature on foot or by bike.
