Funding to accelerate AI-native software development and global expansion

Prosus leads US $2.5 million in a pre-seed funding round in CodeKarma, a software productivity platform pioneering domain-relevant live code intelligence. Accel and Xeed Ventures also co-led, with participation from SenseAI Ventures and Stargazer Ventures. The fresh capital will enable the company to accelerate its vision of creating autonomous, self-improving software systems. The company plans to advance its proprietary AI-driven capabilities, expand into new enterprise verticals, and strengthen its global footprint; particularly in the US market. Strategic hiring and continued product innovation will also be key focus areas as the team scales its operations.

Delivering real-time production insights into the developer's workspace

CodeKarma’s platform transforms the way developers and engineering teams build and maintain complex software. By seamlessly integrating real-time production insights into development workflows, it empowers both human developers and AI systems to proactively identify hidden risks, eliminate unused code, and ship better software faster. Its proprietary technology creates a closed- loop feedback system that continuously improves code quality, performance, and maintainability.

AI is writing more code than ever, but developers are losing context, intuition, and control. Critical “muscle memory” about how code behaves in production is fading: leading to inefficiency, blind spots, and risks. We need the “intelligence” that can pair with developers and machines alike that continue to power this contextual muscle memory, the “infinite” AI powered intuition that results in best quality and most relevant code.

Enter CodeKarma: Code Intelligence for the AI Era

CodeKarma is redefining how tech-first companies build, optimize, and future-proof their software. Unlike traditional observability or static analysis tools, CodeKarma closes the loop between what happens in production and what developers do right at the development time within the IDE window, empowering engineering teams to ship applications smarter, faster, and with unprecedented confidence.

Ananth Vanchi, CEO & Founder, CodeKarma, elaborates, “Our mission is to redefine how software systems evolve and improve; not after deployment, but continuously, as they're being built. With the rapid adoption of AI-generated code, today's systems are increasingly complex, resulting in larger, harder-to-manage codebases often lacking real-world context. CodeKarma bridges this critical gap by embedding deep production insights directly into the developer’s environment, empowering both humans and AI to create cleaner, smarter, and self-improving software. This funding is a strong validation of our vision from leading investors and will accelerate our global expansion into enterprise markets, help us attract exceptional talent, and drive continuous innovation across diverse tech stacks and enterprise environments.”

Dhruv Gupta, Investor, Prosus, said: “At Prosus Ventures, we’re committed to supporting ambitious teams building foundational AI-native products and deepening platform synergies. We are excited to support CodeKarma as they build a new category of developer tools purpose-built for this emerging paradigm. As AI accelerates software creation, the cost of unmanaged complexity, especially tech debt, will rise sharply. CodeKarma addresses this challenge by creating a persistent relay between production and development, delivering deployment-grounded intelligence that empowers both human and AI coders.”

Utkarsh, Tech Advisor to CodeKarma, added, "We are heading into an era of self-evolving software - where reliability and intelligent adaptability are at the core, empowered by seamless collaboration between smart developers and their AI co-pilots or new age AI agents. CodeKarma is born from this vision, as a code intelligence platform built for the AI era. Ananth and I are proud to be shaping this transformative product out of India."

CodeKarma’s technology is particularly relevant for industries such as e-commerce, fintech, and logistics, where large, evolving codebases and rapid deployment cycles demand deeper visibility, performance clarity, and smarter optimization. Unlike traditional observability or static analysis tools, it provides dense, actionable insights directly in developers’ tools; closing the loop between code creation, production behavior, and continuous improvement.

The company’s long-term vision is to build the definitive platform for autonomous software intelligence, enabling systems to not just self-monitor, but self-optimize and self-correct in real time.
