A thread...

[fundable @fundable_ai]

Hermetiq ($2.2M seed, led by Jet Investment, with angels @NiranjanTulpule, @Jason via @LAUNCH and @gokulr): Agentic tools write more code faster, which means more builds and far more build failures, and someone still has to read the log. Hermetiq works out why the build broke and then fixes it. Claremont, founded by Jake Newfield (CEO) and Tim Potter (CTO), an Apache Lucene committer and former Lucidworks chief architect. Already running inside major AI labs and piloted by Etsy.
