In a funding round that signals a major breakthrough for AI-assisted software development, Bito has raised a $5.7 million seed extension to further advance its agentic AI platform for code review. The round, led by Vela Partners with backing from NextView Ventures, Maxitech Ventures, Eniac Ventures, and others, brings Bito’s total seed-stage funding to $8.8 million.
At a time when large language models (LLMs) are revolutionizing code generation, Bito is solving an equally critical—but far less addressed—bottleneck in the event lifecycle: code review at scale.
said Amar Goel, Bito’s co-founder and CEO.
Agentic AI: The Next Frontier in Development Automation
What sets Bito apart is its deep commitment to agentic AI—a brand new class of AI systems that transcend passive tooling to operate as autonomous agents able to reasoning and decision-making. These agents don’t just suggest syntax improvements; they interpret architecture, detect hidden regressions, and apply fixes in real time—all inside the developer’s natural workflow.
Unlike traditional tools, Bito’s AI Code Review Agent actively plans, critiques, and adapts its reviews to align with organizational best practices, tech stacks, and coding styles. Its awareness spans the local pull request context to larger architectural patterns, making it an efficient partner for navigating modern, fragmented codebases.
This is an element of a growing movement generally known as vibe coding—an emerging philosophy where developers co-create software alongside intelligent agents that understand not only syntax, but context, intent, and team-specific nuances. As vibe coding gains traction across startups and enterprises alike, tools like Bito have gotten essential to scale this symbiotic interaction between human creativity and machine precision.
said one industry analyst.
Measurable Impact on Modern Engineering Teams
Bito’s platform currently reviews greater than 10,000 pull requests every week for organizations like Gainsight, Whatfix, and PubMatic, offering significant boosts in each speed and quality:
- 89% faster pull request merges
- 34% fewer code regressions
- 87% of feedback generated by AI
- $14 return for each $1 spent
These aren’t just numbers—they represent reclaimed developer time, increased code reliability, and reduced engineering overhead. Bito also helps junior developers onboard faster, offering best-practice guidance and one-click fixes with wealthy context—effectively turning every code review right into a mentorship session.
said Mukesh Agarwal, Bito’s Chief Product Officer.
Built for Scale, Secured for the Enterprise
Security is prime to Bito’s design. The platform is SOC 2 Type II certified, doesn’t store your code, and never uses your code to coach models. For industries with stricter compliance needs, Bito supports on-premises deployment via Docker, along with its cloud-hosted option.
Bito’s integrations span GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and shortly Azure DevOps, and it supports greater than 50 languages, from JavaScript and Python to Go and C#. Key platform features include:
- Static code evaluation with Mypy, fbinfer, and more
- Security scanning using Snyk, Whispers, and detect-secrets
- Custom review rules, changelists, and detailed PR summaries
- Smart analytics dashboards for tracking pull request quality, velocity, and contributor insights
The corporate’s leadership team brings together a number of the most successful minds in SaaS, adtech, and enterprise infrastructure:
-
Amar Goel, a Harvard graduate and founding father of PubMatic, which went public on NASDAQ
-
Anand Das, CTO of Bito and former CTO at each PubMatic and Eyeota (acquired for $165M), with seven patents
-
Mukesh Agarwal, product lead with a background in Microsoft, EY, and RevX (acquired by Affle)
Together, they’re constructing greater than only a tool—they’re designing a brand new AI-native layer in the fashionable software stack, where code creation and review is intelligent, automated, and collaborative.
Why This Matters Now
The shift to AI-generated and AI-reviewed code is inevitable—but with it comes risks: context erosion, increased regressions, and velocity without accountability. As firms struggle to balance productivity with code integrity, and technical debt, the rise of tools like Bito—and the broader adoption of vibe coding—offers an important path forward.
Bito empowers teams to thrive on this latest reality by acting as a trusted engineering partner, not only a linting bot. It learns. It reasons. And it helps teams move faster without sacrificing trust of their code.
said the Bito founding team.
Bito isn’t just reviewing your code. It’s ushering in a brand new era of developer productivity—one pull request at a time.
