At first glance, Qodo, the startup previously known as CodiumAI, may appear to be yet another AI code generation tool. But the team, which is announcing a $40 million Series A round led by Susa Ventures and Square Peg today, is just as much focused on generating code as on generating the tests and code quality in general.

The service launched out of stealth 18 months ago and so far, the company says, over 1 million developers have tried its solutions and a number of Fortune 100 companies have adopted its enterprise platform.

One major differentiator for Qodo is that while the company offers the usual extensions for Visual Studio Code and JetBrains to bring its Qodo Gen tools right into the IDE, it also offers a git agent that supports GitHub, GitLab, and Atlassian’s BitBucket, as well as a Chrome extension and a CLI tool.

“We call ourselves the first quality-first code generation platform for complex code,” Qodo CEO and co-founder Itamar Friedman told me. “In order to enable quality-first code generation, we believe we need to integrate into the entire software development lifecycle.”
