Gitar is joining Sonar
Blog post from Sonar
Gitar has emerged from stealth with $9 million in seed funding led by Venrock, alongside Sierra Ventures, to develop an AI-driven code validation platform for software teams. The company argues that as AI accelerates code generation, reviewing, testing, diagnosing CI failures, enforcing standards, and ensuring release readiness have become the main constraints on delivery. Gitar uses AI agents within existing pull request and CI workflows to review code, investigate failures, suggest fixes, and add tests, aiming to turn fragmented validation tasks into an automated and continuously improving process. Founded from experience building developer platforms at Uber, the company emphasizes workflow integration, security, compliance, and measurable outcomes, with plans to expand adoption and product capabilities over the next year.
