Bito Raises $5.7M Seed Extension to Expand AI Code Review Platform with Codebase Awareness

Bito helps software engineering teams review code in 10,000+ pull requests each week and speed up their time-to-merge by 89%. Enterprises like Gainsight, Whatfix, and PubMatic ship daily with Bito's AI code reviews. 

SAN FRANCISCO, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bito, an AI developer platform transforming how developers review and improve code by deeply understanding their codebase, today announced a $5.7 million seed extension round, led by Vela Partners, with participation from NextView Ventures, Maxitech Ventures, Eniac Ventures and others. This brings the company's total seed-stage funding to $8.8 million.

Bito is pioneering the shift to agentic AI software development for enterprises by focusing on one of the most critical and overlooked parts of the modern dev cycle: code review. Its flagship product, the AI Code Review Agent, integrates directly into GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket workflows to provide developers with line-by-line feedback, issue detection, performance optimizations, and one-click fix suggestions across over 50 programming languages. Its platform plans and reasons through code review, like how a human would. Bito deeply understands the code context and architectural design patterns of a codebase while maintaining enterprise-grade security. 

Each week, Bito reviews and improves more than 10,000 pull requests for enterprises like Gainsight, Whatfix, and PubMatic.

"Everyone talks about writing code with AI. But production systems live and die by how well that code is reviewed, tested, and maintained," said Amar Goel, co-founder and CEO of Bito. "With this funding, we'll deepen our technology's dynamic insight and codebase awareness to help teams navigate the flood of AI-generated and human-written code that's only just begun."

Commonly used languages on the platform are JavaScript, Typescript, Python, and Java, with growing adoption in Go and C#. Teams that use Bito see 89% faster pull request merges, 34% fewer regressions, 87% of pull request feedback provided by AI, and $14 returns for every $1 spent on its tooling. 

"Dev velocity is increasing, but reviews can't keep up. Quality slips as fewer engineers understand the whole codebase. Soon no engineers will have a handle. Bito's AI-first code review infrastructure adapts the engineering teams to this rapidly changing world," said Yigit Ihlamur of Vela Partners.

Bito's funding will be used to expand its agentic tooling and AI Code Reviews, invest in deeper integrations with CI/CD systems, and grow its team across engineering, product, and go-to-market functions.
