Who We Are

Code Climate empowers software engineering organizations to achieve excellence across people, process, and code with data-driven insights. Our Engineering Intelligence products are trusted by thousands of organizations – from enterprises to startups – to help align engineering initiatives with strategic priorities, accelerate software delivery, and drive continuous improvement.

Founded in 2011 in New York by engineering leaders who were frustrated by decisions being made in the dark or by gut instinct, we envision a world where technology leaders can drive business success through increased transparency, efficiency, and actionable data. After nearly a decade helping over 100,000 developers improve the quality and maintainability of their codebases with our automated code review tool, Quality, we launched our flagship product Velocity, enabling technology leaders to make confident, data-driven decisions that fuel elite team performance at scale.

Backed by leading VC firms, including PSG, Union Square Ventures, Foundry Group, Lerer Hippeau Ventures, and NextView Ventures, Code Climate has raised $66M in funding to date, having closed a Series C round in August 2021.
