Bito Raises $5.7M to Supercharge Agentic AI Code Reviews and Accelerate Enterprise Dev Velocity

In a funding round that signals a significant leap forward 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 development lifecycle: code review at scale.

“Everyone talks about writing code with AI. But production systems live and die by how well that code is reviewed, tested, and maintained,” said Amar Goel, Bito’s co-founder and CEO. “With this funding, we’ll expand our product capabilities and help teams navigate the flood of AI-generated and human-written code that’s only just begun.”

Agentic AI: The Next Frontier in Development Automation

What sets Bito apart is its deep commitment to agentic AI—a new class of AI systems that go beyond passive tooling to operate as autonomous agents capable of 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 within 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 effective partner for navigating modern, fragmented codebases.

This is part of a growing movement known as vibe coding—an emerging philosophy where developers co-create software alongside intelligent agents that understand not just syntax, but context, intent, and team-specific nuances. As vibe coding gains traction across startups and enterprises alike, tools like Bito are becoming essential to scale this symbiotic interaction between human creativity and machine precision.

“Agentic systems like Bito are transforming software creation from a static, rules-based process into a dynamic, collaborative flow—one where devs don’t just code, they vibe with the system,” said one industry analyst. “This is what vibe coding enables: fluid, fast, and deeply contextual development.”

Measurable Impact on Modern Engineering Teams

Bito’s platform currently reviews more than 10,000 pull requests every week for organizations like Gainsight, Whatfix, and PubMatic, offering significant boosts in both speed and quality:

• 89% faster pull request merges
• 34% fewer code regressions
• 87% of feedback generated by AI
• $14 return for every $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 rich context—effectively turning every code review into a mentorship session.

“Bito doesn’t just speed up code review—it levels up your team,” said Mukesh Agarwal, Bito’s Chief Product Officer. “Whether it’s a junior dev or a staff engineer, everyone benefits from smarter, more consistent feedback.”

Built for Scale, Secured for the Enterprise

Security is fundamental to Bito’s design. The platform is SOC 2 Type II certified, does not store your code, and never uses your code to train models. For industries with stricter compliance needs, Bito supports on-premises deployment via Docker, in addition to its cloud-hosted option.

Bito’s integrations span GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and soon Azure DevOps, and it supports more than 50 languages, from JavaScript and Python to Go and C#. Key platform features include:

• Static code analysis 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 company’s leadership team brings together some of the most successful minds in SaaS, adtech, and enterprise infrastructure:

• Amar Goel, a Harvard graduate and founder of PubMatic, which went public on NASDAQ

• Anand Das, CTO of Bito and former CTO at both 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 are building more than just a tool—they are designing a new AI-native layer in the modern 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 companies struggle to balance productivity with code integrity, and technical debt, the rise of tools like Bito—and the broader adoption of vibe coding—offers a crucial path forward.

Bito empowers teams to thrive in this new reality by acting as a trusted engineering partner, not just a linting bot. It learns. It reasons. And it helps teams move faster without sacrificing trust in their code.

“We believe that developers are the master masons behind the future,” said the Bito founding team. “With AI as their co-pilot, the possibilities are boundless.”

Bito isn’t just reviewing your code. It’s ushering in a new era of developer productivity—one pull request at a time.
