Greptile, an AI startup, is currently raising a Series A round of $30 million at a valuation of around $180 million, with Benchmark partner Eric Vishria leading the investment. However, sources indicate that the deal is not yet finalized, and the terms could still change.
Founded by Daksh Gupta after his graduation from Georgia Tech in 2023, the startup joined Y Combinator’s Winter 2024 cohort and subsequently secured a $4 million seed round led by Initialized Capital.
Gupta previously shared that the AI startup’s AI bot functions like an experienced coworker, with a deep understanding of the customer’s codebase, allowing it to detect bugs and potential issues that human reviewers might overlook.
The then 22-year-old Gupta posted on X in November that Greptile “offers no work-life-balance.” Employees typically work from 9 am until 11 pm, including Saturdays, and sometimes Sundays, he wrote.
After the post went viral, Gupta told multiple news outlets that outperforming the competition demands maximum effort from every team member. “No one cares about the third-best company, or even the second-best company in any category in software. If you’re going to put in 95 percent effort, it’s the equivalent of putting in 0 percent effort,” Gupta said in an interview.
With its innovative AI-driven approach to code review, the AI startup is positioning itself as a game-changer in developer productivity and software quality. Backed by leading investors and Y Combinator, the startup’s upcoming Series A funding round could further accelerate its growth, pushing its valuation closer to $180 million and solidifying its place in the competitive AI startup landscape.
