Code Metal, a leading provider of verifiable code translation solutions for mission-critical industries, has secured $125 million in Series B funding to accelerate its growth and innovation strategy. Salesforce Ventures led the round, while Accel, B Capital, Smith Point Capital, J2 Ventures, Shield Capital, Overmatch, RTX, and other strategic investors also participated. At the same time, the company strengthened its executive leadership team by appointing former Tableau CEO Ryan Aytay as President and Chief Operating Officer.

Notably, this funding comes only months after Code Metal closed its Series A round, highlighting both the company’s rapid momentum and the growing demand for trusted AI-driven software solutions across regulated sectors. Defense, automotive, semiconductor, and other safety-critical industries are moving quickly to adopt AI technologies but they require proof, validation, and compliance at every step. As a result, Code Metal has positioned itself as one of the fastest-growing defense technology firms, driven by strong revenue expansion, large-scale contracts, and accelerating adoption among enterprise and government customers.

The company plans to use the new capital to expand its engineering team, speed up product development, deepen commercial and government partnerships, and scale its go-to-market operations. Currently, customers such as Toshiba, RTX, L3Harris, and the U.S. Air Force rely on Code Metal’s platform to translate programming languages and optimize software for hardware environments at remarkable speed.

However, while AI-generated code has become widespread, mission-critical sectors demand more than speed alone. Compliance, safety, accuracy, and performance remain non-negotiable. Therefore, Code Metal has developed a unique neuro-symbolic approach that allows organizations to translate and optimize code for any environment while ensuring it is verified, validated, and ready for production.

“AI code generation has hit an inflection point: mission-critical industries cannot deploy what they cannot verify,” said Rob Keith, Partner at Salesforce Ventures. “Code Metal’s neuro-symbolic approach solves this by mathematically proving code is correct. The unprecedented adoption velocity drove our decision to lead the round; in just one year, demand has pulled Code Metal into programs of record across the U.S. Air Force, L3Harris, and more. Salesforce Ventures brings deep experience scaling enterprise platforms, and we are proud to back the team building the load-bearing infrastructure for this ecosystem.”

Founder and CEO Peter Morales emphasized the strategic significance of the investment. “This new funding round marks an important milestone for Code Metal and validates our mission to close the trust gap in AI-generated code,” said Peter Morales, founder and CEO of Code Metal. “AI can generate code at unprecedented speed, but in mission-critical environments, speed without proof is not enough; we are building the infrastructure that ensures software can be trusted before deployment, and with Salesforce Ventures’ partnership and Ryan’s firsthand expertise with these customers, we are scaling with the operational excellence this market demands.”

Meanwhile, Ryan Aytay brings decades of enterprise software leadership experience. After serving as CEO of Tableau and holding senior leadership roles at Salesforce, he now aims to scale Code Metal’s operations, strengthen commercial execution, and expand strategic partnerships across defense and industrial markets.

“I’m excited to join Code Metal at such an important moment for the company and for the industry,” said Ryan Aytay, President and COO of Code Metal. “AI is changing how code is built, but in mission-critical environments, the standard has to be higher than simply generating code. Code Metal is the leader in trusted verification and validation of AI-generated and legacy code, and its adoption among some of the most critical industries worldwide shows that this approach is already reshaping the software defense landscape. I’m looking forward to partnering with Peter and the team to scale the business.”

Investors also highlighted the broader market opportunity. “AI has transformed how software is written, but code portability and translation remain challenging,” said Yan-David Erlich, General Partner at B Capital. “We’ve been impressed by Code Metal’s strong traction, particularly in helping defense customers develop and deploy on edge devices in safety-critical settings, and we’re excited to back this excellent team as they scale.”

Overall, with fresh capital, proven enterprise traction, and seasoned leadership, Code Metal is strengthening its position at the forefront of trusted AI-powered code verification for mission-critical industries worldwide.
