Continuous Integration Optimization Company Redefine.dev Secures $8.5 Million

By Noah Long • Apr 4, 2023

Redefine.dev announced that it has emerged from stealth with a cutting-edge AI-powered continuous integration (CI) optimization platform for accelerating software development cycles and dramatically cutting cloud expenses. And the company also raised $8.5 million in a seed round led by Gillot Capital, featuring participation from industry leaders like Nitzan Kapira and Ran Rabenzaft (founders of Epsagon), Efrat Rapoport (director of Salesforce Israel), Assaf Ezra (founder of Granolite), Simon Peryman (former VP of Development at Twitch), and Farhan Tawar (VP of Development at Shopify).

The company’s AI-based solution optimizes CI/CD processes and shortens CI time all with just one click and no need for code changes or human involvement. This technology utilizes static code analysis and AI to identify relevant tests for each new code change and minimize feedback time for developers and break changes by over 90%. The company runs a SaaS model and has partnerships with Intel, Claroty, Salesforce, PAGAYA, and many other renowned companies.

As the software development industry is shifting from manual QA to CI/CD processes with automation tools, more resources are necessary to speed up CI time. And Redefine’s AI approach provides a unique solution through predictive test selection, providing organizations with improved processes, shortening the run times, and cost savings without compromising code quality.

Launched last year by CEO Lior Neuman (former R&D officer in 8200) and CTO Ayal Regev (former cyber course commander and researcher at Unit 81), Redefine has a team of 25 employees in Tel Aviv, Israel and the company plans to use the funding for personnel recruitment and acceleration of development.

KEY QUOTES:

“AI-based solutions are increasingly adopted, and it’s inevitable that software development and advanced automation will follow suit. Our solution optimizes processes, shortens running times, and saves machine costs while improving developers’ experience.”

  • Lior Neuman, CEO of Redefine

“Balancing code quality with speed of deployment is a crucial challenge for organizations. Redefine has bridged this gap by precisely optimizing CI processes, saving organizations valuable time and expenses without compromising code quality. The innovative solution and strong entrepreneurial team make for a winning combination.”
