Many are surprised to hear that Factory is the first and only on-prem Software AI product that exists today. One with the ability for the control plane to be hosted in the customers' VPC or on-prem environment. These are the real challenges to AI adoption in the enterprise. We are proud to support a best-in-class experience for customers' to own their intelligence while deploying AI at scale.

We're hiring across almost every function
This raise is especially meaningful because it reflects the value our customers are seeing as they build self-improving software. I’m most proud of the exceptional team we’ve built. Every person at Factory brings a rare brilliance that extends far beyond their individual craft. The collective strength of this team is second to none, and it is a privilege to build alongside them every day. We are excited to use the funding to help more organizations build and own their intelligence.

I'm excited to welcome @vallamezh as our Vice President of People at @FactoryAI.
Two years ago Matan and I were on opposite sides of the table negotiating a term sheet for an investment in Factory. One thing led to another and I joined the 10-person team. Since then, there have been countless Surges, dinners with candidates and their loved ones to convince them to take the leap, and an ongoing mission to automate everything across operations at Factory. Through it all, we’ve never lost sight of our North Star: bringing autonomy to software engineering. Building Factory with this team has been the highlight of my career, and I’m grateful to step into the role of COO. Thank you to @matanSF, @EnoReyes, and the entire team for your trust. We are only just getting started.

I am excited to share that @francesca_lab is stepping into the role of Chief Operating Officer at @FactoryAI.
Having more and more conversations around @concentrateai with mega alt firms and PE and hearing @FactoryAI come up a lot more, @cursor_ai a lot less, and @cognition not at all.
Privileged to work with the smartest people in the world - like Theo. I’m inspired every day by this team and our shared mission to build a future where software builds and improves itself.
We are proud to support @openai’s call for collective action on cyber defense. Together, we can make the digital infrastructure we all depend on more secure.

Hear from the creators of Kimi-K3 on the future of open source, and why being model agnostic has never been more important.

Procured every tool (Claude Code, Devin, Cursor) and only saw adoption in small pockets. Comarch is now building its own software factory org-wide.
10,000 human-days of modernization work done in 45 days. 45 day database migration completed in 6 hours. See how @Comarch is building its own software factory.
Most startups celebrate their first couple million of revenue. @FactoryAI gave it back. They didn’t have to. They chose to. They decided that the product just wasn’t good enough yet, and they wanted to know that they’d really earned it. They wanted their customers to be obsessed. Two years later they shipped Droid CLI, and they’ve been ripping ever since. The product is fantastic and the team is even better - particularly having been hardened by their “two years in the desert”. @matanSF was one of our very first guests on Training Data, and we are delighted to welcome him back. 00:00 Introduction 01:37 Enterprise Lock In Fears 04:26 No Lock In Promise 05:24 Two Years Early 07:24 Refunding Revenue 13:49 Droid CLI Breakthrough 16:44 Harness Frontier Tactics 26:42 Natural Language Routing 27:32 Open Models Catch Up 29:26 Token Share Forecasts 31:02 Automating Low Leverage Work 32:36 Pricing Beyond Tokens 35:56 Software Factory Vision 43:43 AI Transformation Playbook 46:13 Async Agents And Optimism
