In early February 2022, Sourcery attracted $1.75 million in investments. The seed funding round was led by Forward Partners along with Runa Capital, Techstars, Angel Invest, CapitalX, Acequia Capital and other unnamed private business angels.

Sourcery will focus on expanding its team of engineers, developing the functionality of tools to improve code and expand enterprise offerings.

Runa Capital invested in a UK platform for writing non-standard code

Founded in 2018, Sourcery aims to reduce more than 4.9 billion hours per year that developers spend working with low-quality code by automatically viewing and improving (refactoring) the code in real time. The company's technology reads the code that the developer works with and offers cleaner, improved versions to replace it. The company's tools are integrated directly into the developer code editor, as well as into CI/CD tools to improve code at each stage of the software development process. At the beginning of February 2022, Sourcey collaborates with more than 7,000 developers monthly and is used by teams around the world in companies such as Sky, Microsoft, Amazon and LinkedIn.

The world consumed by software continues to expand the capabilities of software developers, but at the same time there is an increasing dependence on errors. Sourcery brilliantly uses this trend by automating code refactoring, which increases the performance of developers and makes their code less prone to errors, "said Konstantin Vinogradov, partner at Runa Capital.[1]
