History

edit

Qodo was founded in 2022 by Itamar Friedman, formerly Alibaba Group’s Director in their Israeli AI Lab, Dedy Kredo who previously led product and data science teams at Exploriem and VMware. By 2024, the company grew to employ 50 people across Israel, the U.S., and Europe.[5]

Qodo's early funding included investments from TLV Partners,[6] Vine Ventures,[7] and angel investors from Snyk, OpenAI, and VMware. In 2023, the company raised $11 million in seed funding. In 2024, Qodo completed a $40 million Series A funding round led by Susa Ventures and Square Peg, with additional contributions from Firestreak Ventures, ICON Continuity Fund, and previous investors TLV Partners and Vine Ventures.[8]

Qodo’s timeline includes the launch of TestGPT in March 2023,[9] AlphaCodium in January 2024,[10] CoverAgent in May 2024,[11] and PR-Agent in April 2024[12] followed by Codiumate in April 2024 and an enterprise platform in July 2024.[13][14][15] The company rebranded to Qodo in July 2024, coinciding with a $40 million Series A funding round.[16] As of 2024, Qodo’s tools have over 370,000 installations on JetBrains and more than 466,000 on VSCode.[17][18][19]

Qodo provides several products and features for software development and testing. Qodo Gen includes code generation and completion, an AI-powered chat feature, and tools for test generation, planning, and coverage. It supports JetBrains[20] and VSCode IDEs.[21] Qodo Merge includes AI-powered chat, automated code reviews, and automatic code description generation. In September 2024, a Chrome extension was released for Qodo Merge, which is compatible with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.[22] Supported models include the GPT family, Claude Sonnet 3.5, and Qodo's proprietary models. Qodo’s research division has also developed AlphaCodium, focusing on advancing AI-driven coding solutions.[23]

The company has received notability and coverage from mainstream media including WSJ,[24] Bloomberg,[25] TechCrunch[26] and Inc.[27] among others.[28][29][30][31]
