Qodo Raises $70M to Fight Against AI Code Software Slop 

Qodo, the AI code review and governance platform, announced it has secured $70 million in Series B funding, bringing total capital raised to $120 million, enabling the company to scale its enterprise operations globally, expand engineering and product teams, and accelerate the development of advanced AI-driven governance capabilities to ensure customers can confidently harness AI at scale, while maintaining rigorous standards for code quality, security, and compliance.

The round was led by Qumra Capital, with funding participation from Maor Ventures, Phoenix Capital Partners, S Ventures, Square Peg, Susa Ventures, TLV Partners, Vine Ventures, Peter Welender (OpenAI), and Clara Shih (Meta). 

According to Qodo, the volume of AI-generated code shipping into production is growing exponentially, quickly outpacing the ability of human software engineers to review and QA. As organizations accelerate the adoption of AI-driven development, the gap between rapid code generation and reliable, high quality code verification is becoming a critical challenge.

While most AI review tools evaluate what changed, Qodo evaluates what that change impacts, across repositories, against codebase history, and measured against the engineering standards an organization has defined. The result is an AI code review layer built for the trust and governance requirements of enterprise software development, the company said.

“The era of unverified AI software development is over,” said Itamar Friedman, CEO and co-founder of Qodo. “At Qodo, we are building a ‘system of record’ for code quality and trust, as enterprises shift from experimental AI to mission-critical automation. With this new financing, we can empower organizations to move fast with confidence, knowing every line of code is safe, reliable, and aligned with their standards.”

"AI has made code cheap to generate and the scarce resource is now trust. As the review layer becomes the highest-leverage control point in the development lifecycle, Qodo is building the infrastructure to make human judgment scale at the speed of AI," said Boaz Morris, partner at Qumra Capital. "This isn't a point solution bolted onto the pipeline; it's the foundational layer of integrity that the entire AI development lifecycle has been missing."
