CodeKarma, a next-generation software productivity platform, has raised $2.5 million in a pre-Seed funding round led by Prosus, with Accel and Xeed Ventures co-leading the investment. SenseAI Ventures and Stargazer Ventures also participated in the round. The startup plans to utilize the funds to scale its AI-powered platform, expand into new enterprise segments, and grow its presence globally, with a strong focus on the US market. Strategic hiring will also be a key priority.
Designed to boost the productivity of developers and engineering teams, CodeKarma integrates real-time production insights directly into the development process, giving teams dense, actionable intelligence. This allows them to understand code more quickly, resolve technical debt efficiently, and establish a feedback loop for both human- and AI-generated code—enhancing software quality and performance in real time.
Unlike traditional observability or monitoring tools, CodeKarma’s platform enables a closed-loop system that improves software as it’s being built, rather than post-deployment. It offers persistent intelligence grounded in real-world usage data, helping teams develop robust, scalable, and maintainable codebases.
“Our mission is to redefine how software systems evolve and improve; not after deployment, but continuously, as they’re being built. With the rapid adoption of AI-generated code, today’s systems are increasingly complex, resulting in larger, harder-to-manage codebases often lacking real-world context. CodeKarma bridges this critical gap by embedding deep production insights directly into the developer’s environment, empowering both humans and AI to create cleaner, smarter, and self-improving software,” said Ananth Vanchi, CEO & Founder of CodeKarma.
“This funding is a strong validation of our vision from leading investors and will accelerate our global expansion into enterprise markets, help us attract exceptional talent, and drive continuous innovation across diverse tech stacks and enterprise environments,” Vanchi added.
“At Prosus Ventures, we’re committed to supporting ambitious teams building foundational AI-native products and deepening platform synergies. We are excited to support CodeKarma as they build a new category of developer tools purpose-built for this emerging paradigm. As AI accelerates software creation, the cost of unmanaged complexity, especially tech debt, will rise sharply. CodeKarma addresses this challenge by creating a persistent relay between production and development, delivering deployment-grounded intelligence that empowers both human and AI coders,” said Dhruv Gupta, Investor at Prosus.
With this funding, CodeKarma aims to further innovate in the AI-driven development space and become a core enabler for software teams navigating increasingly complex systems.
