Latest rounds: the 8 announced in dollars total $2.57 billion. AI niche map · Started November 13, 2026 · Updated November 13, 2026 · Presspool · https://presspool.ai/niches/ai-coding-agents A subset of Presspool's AI coding map: companies whose fit on that map places them in AI coding agents. Companies whose main product is AI that writes, edits, reviews or tests code: AI coding assistants and editors, autonomous coding agents, AI app builders that generate working software, and AI code review and testing. Each company is already on the parent map, where it was taken from the company's own website and confirmed by an independent source, both linked on the entry. No company pays to be listed. This map does not have its own weekly question set or answer sample. The questions and answer counts for these companies are on the [AI coding map](https://presspool.ai/niches/ai-coding). | Company | What it does | Latest announced financing | | --- | --- | --- | | [Cognition](https://presspool.ai/companies/cognition-com) | Cognition makes Devin, an autonomous AI software engineer that plans, writes, tests and ships production code inside a team's own codebase and tools. | $2B, Series E (September 8, 2026) | | [Factory](https://presspool.ai/companies/factory-com) | Factory is an agent-native software development platform whose Droids plan, build, review, test and ship production software across the tools engineering teams already use. | $200M, round type not disclosed (September 15, 2026) | | [Imbue](https://presspool.ai/companies/imbue-com) | Imbue builds tools for coding agents, including Sculptor, a parallel coding workspace, and mngr, which runs any coding agent in parallel. | $200M, Series B (September 7, 2023) | | [Tessl](https://presspool.ai/companies/tessl-io) | Tessl is an agent enablement platform for building a software factory from the skills, context and loops that coding agents run on. | $100M, Series A (November 14, 2024) | | [Cline](https://presspool.ai/companies/cline-bot) | Cline makes an open-source AI coding agent that runs in IDEs, the terminal and a desktop app to read, edit and run code from natural-language tasks. | $32 million, Seed and Series A (July 31, 2025) | | [OpenHands](https://presspool.ai/companies/openhands-dev) | OpenHands is an open-source platform for software engineering agents, with a GUI, CLI, SDK and an enterprise control plane. | $18.8M, Series A (November 18, 2025) | | [Tembo](https://presspool.ai/companies/tembo-io) | Tembo runs coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex in isolated cloud environments to turn issues and alerts into pull requests for engineering teams. | $14 million, Series A (July 3, 2024) | | [LightSprint](https://presspool.ai/companies/lightsprint-ai) | LightSprint is a software factory where PMs, designers and ops direct AI agents on the real codebase while engineering controls every merge. | $6.1 million, Seed (October 13, 2026) | | [Verdent](https://presspool.ai/companies/verdent-ai) | Verdent makes an agentic coding product, a desktop app and editor plugins, that plans, writes, tests and verifies code with several AI agents working in parallel. | Not found | | [Warp](https://presspool.ai/companies/warp-dev) | Warp is an open platform for building and running cloud software factories of coding agents that automate the software development lifecycle. | Not found | | [Zencoder](https://presspool.ai/companies/zencoder-ai) | Zencoder makes AI coding agents and Zenflow, an app that orchestrates agents to plan, write, test and review code. | Not found | ## AI coding agents startups that raised funding recently Rounds announced in the six months to November 12, 2026, newest first.

A company is listed here when the fit recorded on that map names AI coding agents before any other layer. It is not a separate check. Out of scope: companies on the AI coding map whose fit names a different layer first, and anything the AI coding map excludes. General model labs, coding features inside big platforms such as GitHub Copilot or Amazon Q, and developer tools where AI is a feature rather than the product. Definitions are versioned; this is version 1. Corrections need a public source: see [Contact](https://presspool.ai/contact). ## Changes - November 13, 2026: Opened as a subset of the AI coding map. Members are companies already on that map whose fit names this layer first. No separate company check was made for this page. --- Presspool is a sourced record of AI startup funding. Rounds are listed because they were publicly announced, and no company pays to be listed. Published by [Jaxon Parrott](https://jaxonparrott.com).
