Continuous integration software firm Blacksmith Software Inc. has reached a $1 billion valuation following a $66 million Series C funding round. The investment was led by Sequoia Capital and joined by Peak XV Partners, Y Combinator, and GV, pushing the company’s total funding to $125 million. Blacksmith, founded in 2024 and led by CEO Aditya Jayaprakash, offers a "CI cloud" service that automates building and testing software before deployment to production.
This cloud infrastructure, which Blacksmith operates and manages, allows companies to run CI workloads faster and more efficiently. The startup's recent traction includes over 10,000 customers and a surge in code checks per week, up from around 5 million to approximately 90 million. Despite challenges such as the global component shortage, Blacksmith aims to expand its team to 75 employees by the end of the year, using the funds to further develop its global CI cloud.
