Pythagora, an AI development tool founded by Croatian entrepreneurs, has successfully closed a $4 million seed funding round. This round saw investments from notable backers including Y Combinator, Polish Inovo VC, 500 Emerging Europe, Moonfire, Rebel, and Uphonest Capital.
The newly secured funds will be pivotal in scaling the company’s research and development efforts, while also driving growth and increasing user adoption in the coming years. This financial boost positions Pythagora to enhance its capabilities and expand its reach in the AI development sector.
Founders and Vision
Pythagora was established in 2023 by Leon Ostrez, Senko Rasic, and Zvonimir Sabljic. The company’s vision is to transform the AI app development landscape by utilizing advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) and sophisticated machine learning algorithms. The goal is to streamline developer workflows, making app development more efficient and less repetitive.
“While LLMs demonstrate the ability to generate code snippets akin to a seasoned developer,” explained Zvonimir, Pythagora’s co-founder, “building production-ready apps entails essential repetitive and deterministic steps, including code commits, debugging, iterative refinement, requirement adjustments, and meticulous refactoring. These processes are integral to every developer’s workflow.”
Investor Confidence
The impressive traction of Pythagora’s open-source projects and the high rate of recurrent users were key factors that attracted investors. Enis Hulli, General Partner at 500 Emerging Europe, stated, “Pythagora’s impressive open source traction, high rate of recurrent users, and the fully fledged applications developed with it demonstrate the unique expertise of the founding team to tackle this massive opportunity – making it a no-brainer decision for us to invest.”
Pythagora aims to enable smooth communication between users and the AI developer through natural language interaction. By leveraging LLMs, the platform ensures optimal efficiency and quality in app development. One of the main objectives is to automate and streamline repetitive tasks in developer workflows, thus enhancing productivity and innovation.
With this significant funding and the expertise of its founders, Pythagora is well-positioned to revolutionize AI app development. The company’s focus on integrating advanced AI technologies and automating key aspects of the development process promises to set new standards in the industry. As Pythagora continues to grow, it aims to simplify and expedite the app development process, benefiting developers and end-users alike.
