Burning $8M on Open Source, Hitting $100M ARR and the $250 Billion Market | Harjot, CodeRabbit
We live in strange times where AI is turning every problem into a coding problem but no one is reading the code solving those problems.
On this episode of the Neon show, we have Harjot, Co-Founder & CEO CodeRabbit. Harjot explains why they didn’t go after code generation, the infinite demand for software that is coming, why Jira and Linear are being bypassed, and why he calls today’s fundraising market the weirdest he has seen.
We also explore CodeRabbit’s $8M open-source investment, the company’s $1.5B valuation, what successful agents will look like, and why founders need to learn to kill their ideas.
Watch this episode to learn about the future of software engineering and how to ride a tech wave.
