Riza raises $2.7M to power the next generation of AI-written code

Riza, a company focused on securely running untrusted code generated by large language models (LLMs) or humans, has announced a $2.7 million seed funding round led by Matrix Partners. Initially started as a WASM-based untrusted code execution service, Riza has evolved into a platform that has processed over three billion code execution requests since its developer preview launch. The company's platform provides a secure, isolated environment for executing arbitrary code, supporting new paradigms like just-in-time programming, where LLMs generate and execute code in real-time to solve complex problems. This approach has enabled clients to automate tasks such as data extraction and report generation with increased accuracy and reliability. Despite the advancements in AI models like GPT-4.5 and Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Riza recognizes the challenges of running LLM-generated code directly in production without human oversight and is committed to developing tools to enhance the reliability of such systems. As the demand for AI-driven solutions grows, Riza aims to recruit talented engineers to expand its team and further develop its platform, positioning itself as a key player in the evolving landscape of AI-driven applications.
