Raised $2.5 million in pre-seed round led by Prosus, Accel, Xeed Ventures
Enables self-improving software via real-time production insights
Focus on AI-IDE integrations (e.g., Cursor, Copilot) for smart debugging
Software productivity platform, CodeKarma, has raised $2.5 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Prosus, Accel, and Xeed Ventures. The fundraising round also saw participation from SenseAI Ventures and Stargazer Ventures.
The fresh capital will be used to accelerate its vision of creating autonomous, self-improving software systems. Besides this, the company also plans to advance its proprietary AI-driven capabilities, expand into new enterprise verticals, and strengthen its global footprint; particularly in the US market.
“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 and founder of CodeKarma.
The platform transforms the way developers and engineering teams build and maintain complex software. It integrates real-time production insights into development workflows, and empowers both human developers and AI systems to proactively identify hidden risks, eliminate unused code, and ship better software faster.
Speaking about the fundraise, Subrata Mitra, Partner, Accel said, “By integrating with most AI-IDEs like Cursor or Copilot to create the bridge between dev time & run time for debugging & refactoring, and especially excelling at large code bases, their platform positions them to become a critical infrastructure layer for all engineering teams”.
Similarly, Prosus’ Dhruv Gupta also expressed his excitement about supporting CodeKarma, saying the VC is committed to support teams building foundational AI-native products and deepening platform synergies.
“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,” he added.
Founded in 2024, the Bengaluru-based software productivity start-up empowers both human developers and AI systems by embedding real-time production insights into the heart of the development workflow. Its platform helps teams uncover hidden risks, remove dead code, and accelerate the delivery of high-quality software.
The start-up caters to sectors like ecommerce, fintech, and logistics, the company follows a usage-based pricing model, charging enterprises according to the number of microservices they run on its platform.
