Exclusive: Agentic coding startup Baz brings code reviews to the planning stage as it extends seed funding to $17M
Agentic coding startup Baz Technologies Inc. said today it’s launching a new platform that sits between developers and the code bases they’re working on in order to catch software vulnerabilities before they enter production workflows.
The launch came as the company clinched $9 million in extended seed funding, bringing its total amount raised so far to $17 million. The latest round was co-led by existing investors Battery Ventures and Boldstart Ventures, and saw participation from new backers including AFG Partners and Disruptive VC.
But the bigger news was the launch of Baz Planner, which debuted today at the AI Engineer World’s Fair event taking place in San Francisco today. Baz Planner is a new gateway that automatically routes every new idea through dynamic loops that can instantly detect and understand the root cause of new vulnerabilities, then proactively rewrite the coding plan to eliminate them.
The tool follows in the footsteps of its popular AI Code Review tool that launched last year, and currently ranks in first place on the precision-weighted Code Review Bench. With that tool, development teams can govern and secure their AI code with AI agents designed to enforce coding standards across product, design, architecture, security and reliability issues.
