Figuring out AI tool productivity for engineering teams still isn't easy, but there are ways to connect ROI with AI adoption, and opportunities for AI founders to build solutions that engineering orgs genuinely need. DX CTO @lauratacho.com explains. www.heavybit.com/library/arti...
The future of documentation isn't about AI replacing writers. It's about using AI as an assistant, not a solution. In this article, Heidi Waterhouse discusses some of the biggest mistakes teams can make but also the best opportunities to use it correctly. www.heavybit.com/library/arti...

So far, the single biggest slide from #DevGuild was from Quinn (Sourcegraph); an “everything you’ve read about how code and SaaS sales gets done is wrong”
And the caveat: not because it’s right, but because if everyone is doing it wrong, you can’t ignore it when your goal is startup survival.
Our half-day, single-track conference is back! ⚙️ DevGuild: Founder Fundamentals is bringing together seasoned leaders to chart the real paths of technical founders and how it reshapes the people behind the products. Apply now to learn from the best: lu.ma/devguild-fou...

It was a big week at Heavybit. We kicked it off by announcing our latest and largest yet $180M fundraise. Thank you to our founders, investors, and community that made it possible. This next chapter is just beginning. If you're building, let’s talk.
As the tech landscape evolves, our mission remains the same: to back ambitious, technical founders from the very first commit as they build tomorrow’s category-defining companies. If you're building in this space, we’d love to hear from you. www.heavybit.com/faq
The impending software flood represents an incredible opportunity in infrastructure. The Software Stack of the Future will require new primitives, foundational disciplines, and entirely new ideas. In-depth support informed by real-world experience is more important than ever.
We believe in the future, there will be a lot more software. AI is rapidly accelerating the pace of developing and delivering software. Software will be more pervasive, fluid, and increasingly built for smaller-scale, even personal use. And it will be everywhere.
For over a decade, we've backed and partnered with talented technical founders behind category-defining companies like @tailscale.com, @launchdarkly.bsky.social and PagerDuty as well as emerging leaders like Groundcover, @localstack.cloud, @unikraft.cloud and @continue.dev.
Today we’re excited to announce our largest raise yet: $180M+ to fuel our mission of backing category-defining founders from Day 0. As AI accelerates software across every axis, we’re doubling down on hands-on support for builders reshaping the future of software. www.heavybit.com/press/heavyb...
