Poolside

Poolside AI is an American artificial intelligence company specializing in creating foundational AI models and developer tools aimed at transforming enterprise software development. Founded in 2023 by Jason Warner, former CTO of GitHub, and Eiso Kant, a serial software entrepreneur, the company focuses on building AI systems that can autonomously generate, test, and refactor code, thereby streamlining the software development process for large organizations.

The company has achieved significant milestones since its inception. In October 2024, Poolside raised $500 million in a Series B funding round led by Bain Capital Ventures, valuing the company at $3 billion. This funding was bolstered by investments from Nvidia, eBay Ventures, and other notable investors. In October 2025, Nvidia announced a commitment of up to $1 billion to Poolside, further increasing its valuation to $12 billion. These substantial investments underscore the confidence in Poolside's vision and technological capabilities.

Poolside's flagship products include Malibu and Point, two proprietary AI models designed to assist developers in code generation and completion. Malibu is a high-capacity model tailored for complex tasks, while Point is a lightweight model optimized for rapid code completion, delivering results in under 200 milliseconds. These models are accessible through integrated development environment (IDE) plugins and command-line interfaces (CLI), facilitating seamless integration into existing development workflows. The company's AI solutions are deployed securely within client infrastructures, ensuring data privacy and compliance with enterprise security standards.

The company has established strategic partnerships with major industry players. In December 2024, Poolside and Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced a collaboration to offer secure and customizable generative AI solutions for software development on Amazon Bedrock and Amazon EC2. This partnership enables businesses to deploy Poolside's AI models within their existing AWS environments, benefiting from AWS's robust security and performance. Additionally, Poolside has signed contracts with RTX Corporation and other companies in the American defense industrial base, while working to sell its autonomous software development engine to Israeli defense companies. These collaborations highlight Poolside's expanding influence in both commercial and defense sectors, positioning it as a significant player in the AI-driven software development landscape.
