Baz Raises $9 Mn in Seed Round co-led by Battery Ventures

The company is now expanding beyond AI-powered code review by launching a new product that helps developers find software issues before they even start writing code.

The new funding round was co-led by existing investors Battery Ventures and boldstart ventures. New investors AFG Partners and Disruptive VC also joined the round.

Baz will use the new funding to support research and develop AI coding agents that help engineering teams work more efficiently.

Along with the new funding, Baz introduced Baz Planner, a new product that helps improve software development before coding even starts.

The platform reviews development plans, finds possible bugs and security risks, and suggests changes to prevent problems before the code is written and released.

The launch of Baz Planner is a major step forward for the company. Until now, Baz mainly focused on AI-powered code review, helping developers check code for quality, security, system design, and reliability.

Today, Baz serves more than 100 AI, infrastructure, and cybersecurity customers around the world. The company also said its AI Code Review product ranks first in the precision-weighted Code Review Bench.

Baz was founded by CEO Eisenkot and CTO Nimrod Kor, who were part of the team behind Bridgecrew, an Israeli cloud security startup that was acquired by Palo Alto Networks for $200 million in 2021.

After the acquisition, Eisenkot led application security projects at Palo Alto Networks. He helped grow the company's Cloud Application Security business before leaving in 2023 to start Baz.
