Antithesis Raises $47M Seed Funding, Revolutionizes Software Testing

Antithesis, a groundbreaking continuous reliability platform, has emerged from stealth to revolutionize software testing and debugging.

The company, which was founded by the team behind FoundationDB, the world's most powerful and reliable distributed database, has just secured $47 million in seed funding from Amplify Partners, Tamarack Global, and First In Ventures, with participation from angel investors including Michael Walrath and Howard Lerman.

Antithesis's unique approach to software reliability involves autonomously scanning the newest version of software under development for bugs inside a separate, fully deterministic simulated environment.

This allows the platform to perfectly reproduce and provide powerful debugging information for every bug it finds, enabling software engineers to develop with confidence, knowing any bugs will be found quickly and reported by Antithesis before they impact users.

The current software testing landscape relies on developers manually writing their own tests, which can only find bugs in execution paths anticipated ahead of time.

Antithesis's model of autonomous testing is particularly important as we increasingly rely on AI and LLM tools for code generation.

Antithesis is already working with customers, including MongoDB, Palantir, and Ethereum, and has been critical in bolstering their business operations and eliminating bugs that would have gone undetected by other systems.

For Ethereum, Antithesis helped find and fix several serious bugs in the lead-up to The Merge in 2022.

The company, which is based in Northern Virginia, was founded in 2018 and launched out of stealth in 2024.
