Comper, a Dutch software program intelligence platform serving to groups perceive, navigate, and collaborate inside complicated code landscapes, at this time introduced the shut of its pre-Seed spherical led by Productfirst.
Whereas the spherical stays undisclosed, co-founder Juan Uijtewaal shared with EU-Startups that “It’s nonetheless early for Comper, so we selected to not disclose the quantity or set a valuation but. Along with our buyers, we agreed to remain versatile and deal with additional creating the product and rising the group, with plans to formalise this in a Seed spherical at a later stage.”
This latest funding can be put in direction of increasing Comper’s early entry programme and proceed working with product-led groups navigating fast-growing codebases.
“I began constructing Comper for myself as a CTO cockpit, but it surely turned out to be helpful for lots of people, even non-technical ones. Now, with the acceleration of AI coding, software program groups are scaling quicker than their potential to know their very own methods. Staying on prime of your code panorama is extra related than ever; our timing couldn’t be higher,” says Jouke Waleson, technical co-founder of Comper. “We’re constructing Comper to take away that black field and provides groups shared readability throughout their codebases.”
Latest sector rounds level to sustained funding exercise throughout developer tooling, AI-enabled software program platforms and inside instruments, offering helpful context for Comper’s newly introduced pre-Seed spherical.
In 2026, Milan-based Bricks.sh raised €1.6 million at pre-Seed to automate inside admin panels, whereas Spain’s Fracttal secured €29.8 million to develop its AI-powered upkeep software program throughout Europe and Latin America.
In 2025, Stockholm-based Lovable closed a €281 million Collection B to scale its AI-native application-building platform globally, whereas fellow Swedish startup Ivy Interactive raised €917k at pre-Seed to speed up inside device growth utilizing AI.
Elsewhere, London-based Ankar secured €17 million to develop its AI-driven IP software program, and Prague-based Bandits raised €400k to streamline AI integrations for enterprise workflows.
Taken collectively, these disclosed rounds characterize properly over €330 million invested into software program, AI and developer-focused platforms throughout Europe in 2025 and 2026, situating Comper’s undisclosed pre-Seed spherical inside a broader sample of capital flowing into instruments designed to assist groups higher construct, perceive and scale complicated software program methods.
Perry Oostdam, Investor at Productfirst, provides: “After assembly the group and seeing the product, I known as Pawel instantly. We didn’t need to miss this chance. Comper brings instant readability to one thing each scaling firm struggles with; understanding their codebase as a residing system. The velocity at which this got here collectively displays the energy of each the product and the founders behind it.”
Based in 2025 after a 12 months in stealth, Comper is a software program intelligence platform that helps groups perceive and work inside their codebases with readability. By turning an organization’s codebase right into a shared, explorable system, Comper seems to be to allow higher collaboration, quicker onboarding, and extra assured decision-making.
Comper was based by Jouke Waleson, ex-Mendix, software program engineer, CTO, then fractional CTO; and Juan Uijtewaal, ex-Miro, and skilled COO. Every have beforehand labored throughout high-growth firms the place codebase complexity straight impacted velocity, high quality, and group well being.
In response to the corporate, they’re rethinking how engineering, product and management groups collaborate by making codebases seen, explorable, and shareable throughout whole organisations. Described as “Figma for codebases,” Comper allows quicker onboarding, clearer decision-making, and extra resilient software program growth at scale.
Pawel Smoczyk, former CTO turned investor, shares: “After years of main engineering groups, I’ve realized that the majority threat doesn’t come from unhealthy code, however from an absence of shared understanding throughout the group. What satisfied me about Comper is that it addresses this on the root – not with extra documentation, however with a transparent, shared view of how the software program really works and the way groups are structured round it.“
