View company profile

DeepSource emerged from a clear vision: to empower developers and engineering teams to write maintainable and secure code, ultimately enabling them to ship exceptional software, faster. Founded in 2018 by Sanket Saurav and Jai Pradeesh, the journey began with the ambition to automate the objective aspects of code review. The founders recognized that while static analysis technology had existed for a long time, its adoption could be significantly increased if it were easier to set up, seamlessly integrated into developer workflows, and, crucially, maintained a very low rate of false positives. This conviction laid the groundwork for what DeepSource would become.

The initial phase involved building a product that could continuously analyze source code changes, identifying and helping to fix issues across critical categories such as security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, anti-patterns, and bug risks. The team focused on creating a platform that integrates natively with popular version control systems like GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps. This allows DeepSource to run analyses on every commit and pull request, catching potential problems before they escalate into production issues. Early traction with open-source teams at prominent companies like Uber, Slack, and NASA validated their approach. This early success was followed by a pre-seed funding round of $140K from angel investors, which fueled further development, including support for more programming languages like Go, Dockerfiles, and Terraform, and integration with GitLab.

A significant milestone in DeepSource's evolution was its acceptance into the Y Combinator Winter 2020 batch. This experience, coupled with a subsequent seed investment of $2.6 million led by 645 Ventures, provided the resources to expand the product's capabilities, add support for more languages, and enhance its innovative Autofix™ feature, which automates the remediation of detected issues. DeepSource has continued to innovate, launching AI-powered agents to further streamline code security and releasing open-source tools like Globstar to give back to the developer community. Today, DeepSource is trusted by thousands of companies, from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises, helping them build more reliable and secure software by fostering a culture of continuous code quality.
