Amartya Jha, the co-founder and CEO of code review platform CodeAnt revealed via Linkedin on Thursday that the company received $2 million in a seed round.
Featured in Forbes, CodeAnt makes use of AI to review code. With the rise in the prevalence of AI-generated code, reviewing of code has become of utmost importance, and CodeAnt believes they have a solution. “It doesn’t matter how fast you produce code; what’s really important is how well that code performs,” Jha said. “Is it free of bugs and security issues – and is it optimised for the purpose it is designed for?” He also noted that “As AI-driven coding becomes widespread, the real bottleneck isn’t writing code – it’s reviewing it.”
CodeAnt integrates directly with developer workflows such as GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps to provide almost instantaneous feedback on code quality, security and compliance. The reviews also come with one-click fixes that developers can use to rectify problems identified.

CodeAnt claims the platform cuts manual code review time and bugs by over 50%. It gives one-click fixes for code quality and security issues, and works with all languages Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), and Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) tools. It is SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliant.
CodeAnt AI aims to rival market leaders such as CodeRabbit, which announced a $16 million Series A round in 2024, revealing that it had around 600 organizations using its code review platform. Businesses including Bito, CodiumAI, Coderbuds and CodeFactor operate in a similar space.
The funding round, led by Y Combinator, VitalStage Ventures’ Brian Shin and Uncorrelated Ventures, with participation from DeVC, Transpose Platform, Entrepreneur First, will help the business develop the product further and recruit additional engineering capacity.
While Jha has previously worked as a software engineer at Sabre, DevOps and Zeta, the other co-founder, Chinmay Bharati was a quant developer, and a founding member of Zev AI, bringing their vast experience together to build CodeAnt.
