When an app on your phone crashes, whom do you blame?

Thatâ€™s a question that Rich Paret, former senior director of systems engineering at the local startup Brightcove, admits he didnâ€™t think a lot about until recently; he blamed who everyone blames: the appâ€™s creator. But in January, when Paret got a call from Jeff Seibert, CEO of the Cambridge-based startup Crashlytics, he started thinking about mobile app crashes -- and he hasnâ€™t stopped since.

Crashlytics offers the most robust crash reporting available for Apple devices. The company has been operating fairly stealthily since February 2011 and raised $1 million in seed funding from local VC shop Flybridge Capital and a handful of prominent angel investors last July.

â€œ[Seibert] told me that there are a billion crashes on Apple devices every day,â€ Paret said. â€œYou think about crashes, but I had never thought about the scale of that problem until that moment. That stat got me to sit up and pay attention.â€

Hackers Only: Run-of-the-Mill Developers Need Not Apply

Crashlytics president Wayne Chang isnâ€™t your average, stuffy company president. In fact, heâ€™s something of a celebrity among web startupers and hackers in Boston and Silicon Valley.

â€œHe was unassuming and just a down-to-Earth, cool guy,â€ Paret said of their first meeting. â€œHe was like, â€˜This is me. This is what Iâ€™ve done in the past. This is my vision for what I want to do.â€™ I really felt like he had spent a lot of time thinking about Crashlytics.â€

Already an active angel investor at just 28 years old, Chang is a seasoned entrepreneur. He started programming professionally at the age of 11. By 15, he was contributing to the original Napster and later worked on the original team at Dropbox. Chang has founded a handful of companies besides Crashlytics, including i2hub, one of the most popular file-sharing websites ever; amid pressure from record companies, he shut it down in 2005.

Seen The Social Network? Then youâ€™re familiar with a legal case in which Chang was involved. In 2009, Chang sued ConnectU founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss for a portion of their settlement with Facebook, citing a partnership with i2hub. Needless to say, he wonâ€™t comment on the situation. He doesnâ€™t want to talk about the teams heâ€™s worked with before. Not when he can jaw about the team he and Seibert have been assembling at Crashlytics.

Everyone who works for Crashlytics is a software engineer with a deep knowledge of the foundations of computer science. And pretty much all of them are talented enough to play the part of technical co-founder at any one of this cityâ€™s hundreds of startups that are hungry to find one.

â€œOn our site, we donâ€™t list whoâ€™s involved,â€ Chang said. â€œSure, you can find out that Jeff and I are the founders. But weâ€™ve been quietly building an all-star team. I feel very humbled to be able to work with this group.â€

Seibert is no n00b either. Although heâ€™s only 26, the Stanford grad has also worked for Apple and founded a handful of software startups, including Increo, which was acquired by Box.net.

Chang and Seibert said that their team now includes five additional full-time employees, including Paret and fellow Brightcove defector Sam Robbins, whom the company hired for his expert-level knowledge of smartphone software development kits. Matt Massicotte, who spent three and a half years working at Apple and contributed to their internal crash reporting team, also recently joined the team.

â€œA lot of what we do is deeply technical,â€ Seibert said. â€œIt requires a thorough understanding of how these devices operate and what techniques are available to collect this information. On the web side, we need to be incredibly disciplined in how we receive and store the data, and how we optimize our processing. This is why weâ€™re hiring true computer scientists who are also great software engineers.â€

So Whoâ€™s Really to Blame for all the Crashes?

Sending a crash report can feel like saying a prayer -- thereâ€™s never any direct follow-up. But the lousy experience has more to do with Apple than the app creators. The company offers free crash reporting for the 300,000-plus iPhone apps currently available in the App Store, as well as for the 60,000-plus iPad-only apps. In many cases, individual crash reports are sent via email by the thousands, and those batches are often sent out weeks apart.Â Imagine suddenly seeing â€œYou have 10,526 unread messagesâ€ in your inbox, then sifting through all those emails and only getting a little bit of information about what caused each crash,Â and youâ€™ll understand the problem Crashlytics is solving.

Truth be told, Apple probably doesnâ€™t care much about this problem. Theyâ€™ve already gotten the developer to create the app and host it in their exclusive marketplace; thatâ€™s all they need to keep growing their walled garden. And anyways, when the app crashes, you blame its maker, remember?

Despite Appleâ€™s overt lack of interest in solving this problem, it takes some pretty serious cojones to get into a footrace against them.

â€œIf Apple or anyone else was doing a good job of this, we would have started a different company,â€ Seibert said simply.

Outdoing Apple by Solving a â€œHuge, Big Data Problemâ€

If Appleâ€™s standard crash reporting is a free ride in your momâ€™s minivan, Crashlytics is offering free test drives of your uncleâ€™s Maserati.

Ios Crashlytics

â€œImagine youâ€™re an app developer and have 100,000 crashes. Crashlytics will distill that down to, say, 23 different issues. It will also tell you that, of those 23 issues, two are the most significant,â€ Chang said. â€œOn all 23 issues, weâ€™ll tell you the exact line of code thatâ€™s caused the crash. Even Apple canâ€™t do that today.â€

The founders wonâ€™t disclose how many apps run their software, so thereâ€™s little information about the demand for their product; Seibert only said that the company is processing â€œmillions of events per day.â€ Nonetheless, Crashlyticsâ€™ streamlined interface and the technology behind it certainly seem like they make the process of maintaining and improving mobile apps a heck of a lot easier.

â€œWe take this huge, big data problem and distill it down so developers can make use of it,â€ Chang said. â€œWe give other data, tooâ€¦.all kinds of things that help developers understand the environment in which their apps are crashing.â€

According to the team at Crashlytics, the information that the company collects is only â€œdevice-l
