GitLab is an AI-powered DevSecOps platform that brings the entire software development lifecycle - planning, source code management, CI/CD, security, and deployment - into a single application. Born as an open-source alternative to GitHub in 2011 and run as one of the world's largest all-remote companies, GitLab now serves enterprises and millions of developers, trades on Nasdaq under GTLB, and is pushing into agentic AI development with GitLab Duo.
CodeRabbit is an AI-powered code review platform that reads every pull request, leaves line-by-line feedback, and helps engineering teams keep up with code now being written largely by other AIs. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in San Francisco, it serves more than 10,000 organizations including Chegg, Groupon, and Mercury.
Bito is a San Francisco-based AI developer tools company building agents that review pull requests and ground code generation in deep codebase context. Its AI Code Review agent plugs into GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket to flag bugs, security issues, and style problems before humans burn a single brain cell on them - and it speeds up PR merges by 89%, according to the company.
Michael McBride is a General Partner at GV (Google Ventures), where he leads early-stage investments in enterprise technology, AI, and open-source-powered companies. A Stanford-trained mechanical engineer who spent three decades building high-growth startups before pivoting to venture capital, McBride brought operational credibility from five years as GitLab's CRO - where he oversaw a 100x+ revenue run-rate expansion before its 2021 IPO. He joined GV in December 2023 and quickly became one of its most active dealmakers, leading GV's $319 million Cribl Series E - the firm's second-largest investment ever.
Bruce Armstrong is an Operating Partner at Khosla Ventures, one of Silicon Valley's most prominent deep-tech venture firms, where he focuses on enterprise technology and digital healthcare. A rare breed of operator-turned-investor, Armstrong brings over 25 years of hands-on leadership at the helm of enterprise software companies - from being one of Teradata's first 20 employees to CEO stints at KNOVA Software, Kickfire, and PivotLink - giving him a founder's instincts on board seats at companies like GitLab (IPO 2021), Cylance (acquired by BlackBerry), SingleStore, and Vectra. When he's not sourcing the next breakout enterprise deal, he's logging podium finishes in mountain bike races or seeing 50+ bands annually at San Francisco's Outside Lands festival.
