Antithesis, a software testing startup based in Washington, has secured $47 million in seed funding, elevating the company's valuation to $215 million, according to a source familiar with the matter speaking to Reuters.
Leading the funding round are Amplify Partners, Tamarack Global, and First In Ventures, as disclosed by the same source.
Founded by serial entrepreneur Will Wilson, who previously sold his startup FoundationDB to Apple in 2015, Antithesis specializes in artificial intelligence-driven software capable of scanning and detecting bugs in code during the development process. Wilson explained in an interview on Monday that their software enhances the productivity of software engineers by facilitating the reproduction and provision of debugging information. Notably, the tool is compatible with various programming languages.
With this influx of capital, Antithesis intends to allocate resources towards bolstering its sales and marketing efforts, alongside team expansion initiatives, as outlined by Wilson.
The company has already established partnerships with notable enterprise clients, including MongoDB and Palantir, showcasing its relevance and adoption within the industry.
