Sources familiar with the deal tell TechCrunch it\u2019s for $30 million at a $180 million valuation led by Benchmark partner Eric Vishria. But one person says that the deal hasn\u2019t closed and terms may change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded by Dasksh Gupta after he graduated from Georgia Tech in 2023, the startup went through Y Combinator in the winter of 2024 cohort, and raised a<a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2024\/06\/06\/greptile-raises-4m-to-build-an-ai-code-base-expert\/\"> $4 million seed round<\/a> led by Initialized Capital after completing its program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gupta told TechCrunch<a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2024\/06\/06\/greptile-raises-4m-to-build-an-ai-code-base-expert\/\"> last year<\/a> that the bot his company developed acts as an experienced coworker, possessing a deep understanding of the customer\u2019s code, which enables it to pinpoint bugs and other potential issues that human reviewers might miss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with most areas of AI, the code review space is very competitive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Greptile\u2019s most prominent rivals include Graphite, a startup that earlier this year raised a<a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/03\/18\/anthropic-backed-ai-powered-code-review-platform-graphite-raises-cash\/\"> $52 million Series B<\/a> led by Accel with participation from<a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2024\/12\/18\/menlo-ventures-and-anthropic-have-picked-the-first-18-startups-for-their-100m-fund\/\"> Anthropic\u2019s Anthology Fund<\/a> with Menlo Ventures, a16z, and others. Another key competitor is Coderabbit, which last year secured a $16 million Series A from CRV.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The intense competition has driven Greptile to require its staff to work exceptionally long hours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The then 22-year-old Gupta<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/dakshgup\/status\/1855670370659111242\"> posted on X<\/a> in November that Greptile \u201coffers no work-life-balance.\u201d Employees typically work from 9 am until 11 pm, including Saturdays, and sometimes Sundays, he wrote.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-techcrunch-inline-cta\">\n<div class=\"inline-cta__wrapper\">\n<p>Techcrunch event<\/p>\n<div class=\"inline-cta__content\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__location\">San Francisco<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__separator\">|<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__date\">October 27-29, 2025<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the post went viral, Gupta told multiple news outlets that outperforming the competition demands maximum effort from every team member. \u201cNo one cares about the third-best company, or even the second-best company in any category in software. If you\u2019re going to put in 95 percent effort, it\u2019s the equivalent of putting in 0 percent effort,\u201d Gupta said in an interview with Inc.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whatever the work culture, attracting an A-list VC like Benchmark at a healthy Series A valuation, could also be helpful in Greptile\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Greptile and Benchmark did not respond to a request for comment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/07\/18\/benchmark-in-talks-to-lead-series-a-for-greptile-valuing-ai-code-reviewer-at-180m-sources-say\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greptile, an AI-powered code review startup, is in the process of raising a Series A.
