Summary

Port has successfully raised $100 million in Series C funding, propelling its valuation to $800 million as it aims to transform the software industry with its Agentic Engineering Platform (AEP). Led by General Atlantic with participation from Accel, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Team8, this round comes shortly after their Series B, bringing their total capital raised to $158 million. Port, a leader in the Internal Developer Portal (IDP) market, intends to shift from manual to autonomous engineering by advancing from AI-assisted to AI-led processes, giving AI agents significant roles in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). The AEP enhances Port's existing offerings by allowing AI agents to autonomously manage tasks like ticket handling, incident resolution, and maintaining standards, all while ensuring human oversight. This platform is designed to provide engineering teams with a collaborative interface where they can guide AI decisions, ensuring safe adoption of AI across all technical stakeholders. As Port continues to expand its agentic workflows, it aims to redefine engineering in the AI era by streamlining processes and enhancing efficiency in ways previously unattainable.
