Decibel
Decibel (Decibel Partners) is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests in essential infrastructure software used by developers, data engineers and cybersecurity teams, describing itself as "early believers in technical founders." It keeps a deliberately small portfolio, says no to investments outside its expertise, and backs companies from the earliest stage across four sectors: Cybersecurity, Developer Platforms, Data / ML / AI Infrastructure and Autonomous Software. Founded by Jon Sakoda, it supports founders with a community of early adopters (CISOs, CTOs, VPs of Engineering and Data), GTM playbooks, founder advisors and talent help, and has a Managing Director for APAC and Japan. Exits on its portfolio page include Cmd (Elastic), Pachyderm (HPE), Pangea (CrowdStrike), Propelo (Harness), Blameless (Freshworks), Nira (Dropbox) and runZero (Accenture).
Decibel is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Decibel is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Decibel, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
