Greptile, an AI-powered code review startup, is in the process of raising a Series A. 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

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 $4 million seed round<\/a> led by Initialized Capital after completing its program.<\/p>\n

Gupta told TechCrunch 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

As with most areas of AI, the code review space is very competitive.<\/p>\n

Greptile\u2019s most prominent rivals include Graphite, a startup that earlier this year raised a $52 million Series B<\/a> led by Accel with participation from 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

The intense competition has driven Greptile to require its staff to work exceptionally long hours.<\/p>\n

The then 22-year-old Gupta 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

Techcrunch event<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSan Francisco
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t|
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOctober 27-29, 2025\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

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

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
