Bito, an AI-based developer platform that transforms how developers review and improve code by deeply understanding their codebase, announced a $5.7 million seed extension round, led by Vela Partners, with participation from NextView Ventures, Maxitech Ventures, Eniac Ventures, and other investors. And this brings the company’s total seed stage funding to $8.8 million.
Value proposition: Bito is advancing the shift to agentic AI-based software development for enterprises by focusing on one of the most critical and overlooked parts of the modern dev cycle: code review. And its flagship product, the AI Code Review Agent, integrates directly into GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket workflows to provide developers with line-by-line feedback, issue detection, performance optimizations, and one-click fix suggestions across over 50 programming languages.
The company’s platform plans and reasons through code review, like how a human would. Bito deeply understands the code context and architectural design patterns of a codebase while maintaining enterprise-grade security.
Every week, Bito reviews and improves more than 10,000 pull requests for enterprises like Gainsight, Whatfix, and PubMatic.
Some of the commonly used languages on the platform are JavaScript, Typescript, Python, and Java, with growing adoption in Go and C#. And teams that use Bito see 89% faster pull request merges, 34% fewer regressions, 87% of pull request feedback provided by AI, and $14 returns for every $1 spent on its tooling.
How the funding will be used: Bito’s funding will be used for expanding its agentic tooling and AI Code Reviews, invest in deeper integrations with CI/CD systems, and grow its team across engineering, product, and go-to-market functions.
KEY QUOTES:
“Everyone talks about writing code with AI. But production systems live and die by how well that code is reviewed, tested, and maintained. With this funding, we’ll deepen our technology’s dynamic insight and codebase awareness to help teams navigate the flood of AI-generated and human-written code that’s only just begun.”
Amar Goel, co-founder and CEO of Bito
“Dev velocity is increasing, but reviews can’t keep up. Quality slips as fewer engineers understand the whole codebase. Soon no engineers will have a handle. Bito’s AI-first code review infrastructure adapts the engineering teams to this rapidly changing world.”
