Powering over 2M developers a month, StackBlitz has raised $7.9M

StackBlitz, a web development platform, has secured $7.9 million in seed funding led by Greylock and GV, with contributions from notable figures like GitHub Co-Founder Tom Preston-Werner. Founded by Eric Simons and Albert Pai, StackBlitz aims to revolutionize web development by leveraging WebAssembly and WebContainers to create a faster, more secure, and collaborative environment that eliminates the need for local setups. Since launching its beta at Google I/O, StackBlitz has gained significant traction, with over 2 million developers using the platform in March 2022 and adoption by more than 70% of top open source projects. The funding will be used to expand StackBlitz's team, enhance product functionality, and increase enterprise adoption, as the company partners with major tech firms like Google, Mozilla, and Amazon to bring its innovative technology to a broader audience. The announcement highlights StackBlitz's ambition to become a leader in providing secure and efficient development environments, with plans to further enhance its offerings and increase market presence.
