Gitpod has announced $13 million in funding led by General Catalyst. Gitpod is an open source solution used by more than 350k developers globally to automate development environments in a remote-first world.

It leverages the version control system as the canonical source of truth to automate everything a developer needs to start coding. Gitpod frees engineering teams from the friction of manually setting-up local dev environments, to save dozens of hours and enable a new level of collaboration to create applications more quickly than ever before.

Development environment automation

Steve Herrod, Managing Director at General Catalyst said, “Gitpod is obsessed with bringing back joy and speed to the modern developer experience. Devs today are struggling with larger codebases and more complex dependencies, leading to cluttered environments that hamper productivity and collaboration. Gitpod removes that friction and is on track to establish an essential new product category in modern software development.”

The $13 million total funding will help the company to expand its position as the leading platform for development environment automation and to grow Gitpod’s open source community and relevant ecosystem partnerships.
