Mountain View, Calif., Jan. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Codeium, a leading AI-powered software developer productivity platform, has successfully raised $65 million in a Series B financing round.

Empowering Developers with Generative AI Capabilities
Codeium’s latest funding round underscores the growing demand for a secure and personalizable AI-powered software developer productivity platform.
The company aims to empower software developers by enhancing their workflows through generative AI-powered capabilities.
Revolutionizing Software Development with Codeium
Codeium stands out as a generative AI-powered coding toolkit that leverages proprietary code-biased Large Language Models (LLMs).
This approach aims to reduce inefficiencies in software development and maximize developer productivity.

Addressing Challenges in Software Engineering
Varun Mohan, CEO of Codeium, highlighted the challenges in software engineering, including imperfect knowledge retrieval, boilerplate tasks, and maintenance overhead.
He emphasized that the rise of LLMs provides an opportunity for developers to overcome these challenges, allowing them to focus on creative and high-value tasks rather than tedious maintenance work.
Expanding Codeium’s Platform for Comprehensive Software Development Support
In the coming months, Codeium plans to expand its platform to address tasks throughout the software development life cycle.
This expansion will go beyond writing and running code, encompassing system design, code maintenance (particularly legacy code migrations), and continuous scanning and fixing of complex issues like security vulnerabilities.
Codeium positions itself as a fully-vertical solution, integrating with various tools agnostically to accelerate these tasks for developers across different companies.
Investment Plans and Growth Strategy
With the additional capital secured, Codeium intends to grow its engineering and sales functions.
The company aims to increase its investment in systems and solutions to support the diverse needs of enterprise software development teams.
Recognition from Industry Leaders and Ongoing Partnerships
Leigh Marie Braswell, Partner at Kleiner Perkins, expressed excitement about Codeium’s potential, stating that the company is reshaping the way software is written.
Notably, Codeium is already winning against competitors like Microsoft.
Leading companies, including Anduril, Clearwater Analytics, and several Fortune 500 companies, currently leverage Codeium to enhance internal developer productivity.
The company is also collaborating with established leaders like Atlassian to improve the overall developer experience.
