Coder Lands $90M Series C With KKR Leading the Charge

Austin-based dev tools startup Coder scores a hefty $90M Series C round led by investment giant KKR.

Coder just pulled in $90 million in a Series C round led by KKR. The Austin-based startup builds software that lets developers write and run code across local machines and the cloud.

This isn't Coder's first big haul. The company raised $35 million in 2024, making this latest round a significant step up in scale. KKR stepping in as lead investor signals serious institutional confidence in the developer tooling space.

Coder sits at the intersection of cloud infrastructure and developer experience — a category that's gotten increasingly crowded but clearly still has room for big checks. A $90M raise suggests the company has found real traction with its platform.

Details on valuation and how the funds will be deployed weren't disclosed.
