AI-powered code verification Qodo raises $70M

A startup called Qodo, formally known as Codium Ltd., today said it has raised $70 billion in Series B funding, bringing its total funding to $120 million.

Few areas have felt the impact of artificial intelligence as productively as software development. Tools like Anthropic PBC’s Claude Code and OpenAI Group PBC’s Codex have dramatically accelerated code generation, but that speed comes with a tradeoff: namely, the need to verify that code.

Qodo believes that code generation is no longer a barrier to code development. Instead, trust has become the new logjam. Traditionally, code verification was done by humans, but they cannot keep up with the large amount of AI-generated code that businesses are producing today.

But it’s not just volume that causes problems. Engineering teams tend to handle AI-generated code differently, Qodo said. They are very aware of bugs and things that go over the net, so they use strict verification measures before that code is used. The result is that the code is generated by the AI ​​much faster than it can be sent.

This is where Qodo comes in. It’s not another coding assistant, but rather serves as a dedicated code review and management layer into the software development lifecycle.

The company integrates its software within development environments, pull requests and continuous integration / continuous development pipelines, where automatic, context-aware analysis is applied to every line of code. While traditional verification tools focus on discrete differences, Qodo tries to evaluate how code changes are felt across the entire codebase, taking into account any architectural dependencies and historical decisions.

To do this, Qodo relies on a multiagent architecture, with specialized AI agents handling each aspect of the code review process, including bug detection, compliance testing and architecture verification. There is also a coordination layer that filters and prioritizes the findings of these agents. It reflects a broader shift in AI systems, where multiple specialized agents organized as teams are proving to be more effective than a single, all-powerful model that tries to do everything.

Today, we’re announcing that we’ve raised $70 million in Series B funding to fight the AI ​​slop and become the independent verification layer for AI-assisted software development.

Qodo’s move suggests a shift in focus in the AI ​​coding industry. In the past few years, most of the big players have focused mainly on code generation, copy creation, auto-completion systems and even full AI developers who can create entire applications from scratch.

But Qodo wants to put more emphasis on code management at a time when businesses are beginning to realize that product stacking alone won’t accelerate software development. Without strong guardrails, AI-generated code is simply too dangerous to deploy without queuing until it has been reviewed for vulnerabilities, logic errors and consistency issues.

Of course, Qodo isn’t the only AI code review tool in town. It faces competition from rivals including Greptile, Augment and Devin, as well as Anthropic’s recently released Claude Code Review. But the company has an edge over its competitors in terms of performance. It was recently ranked #1 on the Martian’s Code Review benchmark with a score of 64.3%. That’s one of the industry’s most popular benchmarks for AI code review tools, and highlights Qodo’s strong ability to find complex logical bugs and file problems without creating too many false positives.

Qodo has also won the trust of large enterprises such as Nvidia Corp., Walmart Inc., Red Hat Inc., Intuit Inc., JFrog Ltd. and Texas Instruments Inc.

Today’s round was led by Qumra Capital and saw participation from Maor Ventures, Phoenix Capital Partners, S Ventures, Square Peg, Susa Ventures, TLV Partners, Vine Ventures and others. The funding will help Qodo expand its global operations, it said, by expanding its product and engineering teams and developing additional AI-powered governance capabilities. Its mission is to allow companies to acquire AI coding tools with confidence at scale while maintaining strict code quality standards.

Founder and CEO Itamar Friedman said the days of unproven AI software development will be a thing of the past. “We’re building a system of record for code quality and trust as businesses transition from experimental AI to mission-critical automation,” he said. “With this new funding we can empower organizations to move faster with confidence, knowing that every line of code is safe, reliable and up to their standards.”
