Qodo, an AI-driven code review startup, has raised $70 million to tackle the growing challenge of verifying software reliability. With billions of lines of code generated by AI tools each month, ensuring that this code functions as intended is crucial.

The focus on quality goes beyond just what changes have been made; Qodo emphasizes understanding how these changes affect entire systems, factoring in organizational standards and historical context. This is a significant shift from other AI review tools, which often only highlight differences without considering the broader impact.

Founded by Itamar Friedman, who has experience in both machine vision and hardware verification, Qodo aims to address the gap between developer awareness and actual practice. While 95% of developers don’t fully trust AI-generated code, only 48% consistently review it before committing—underscoring the need for robust verification tools.

The startup has already secured major enterprise clients such as Nvidia, Walmart, and Red Hat, demonstrating its potential to transform how we manage AI-generated code. With Qodo 2.0 leading current benchmarks in code review, their technology is poised to become a cornerstone of modern software development practices.
