Qodo
Qodo (formerly CodiumAI) is an Israeli-American startup building AI agents for code review, testing, and governance. Where most AI coding tools race to generate more code, Qodo focuses on verifying it - catching bugs, generating tests, reviewing pull requests, and enforcing an organization's own quality standards. Its platform spans IDE plugins, a CLI, and hosted PR-review integrations for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps. Founded in 2022 by Itamar Friedman and Dedy Kredo, Qodo has raised $121M across seed, Series A, and a $70M Series B in 2026, and counts Nvidia, Walmart, Red Hat, Intuit, and Monday.com among its customers.
