Codeium Named to Fast Company’s Fourth Annual List of Next Big Things in Tech

Codeium, the leading AI-powered platform for software development, today announced its selection as a winner of Fast Company’s 2024 Next Big Things in Tech Awards, in the On the Rise: 0-4 Years in Business category. The award honors emerging technologies that have had a profound impact for industries—from education and sustainability to robotics and artificial intelligence.

With a mission to reduce inefficiencies in software development and maximize developer productivity, Codeium is transforming the developer experience and advancing human creativity through AI-driven tools.

Since its founding, Codeium has assembled a team of over 100 professionals and grown its user base to more than 800,000 active developers, establishing partnerships with industry leaders like JPMorganChase, Zillow, Dell, and Anduril. In August, they announced a $150M Series C funding led by General Catalyst at $1B+ valuation. The enterprise product reached eight figures in annual recurring revenue within a year, with ARR growing by over 500% since early 2024.

Most recently, the company launched The Windsurf Editor, the first agentic AI-powered code editor, which allows developers to work in seamless collaboration with AI in real-time.

“Our team is honored by being named as one of the Next Big Things in Tech,” said Varun Mohan, CEO and co-founder of Codeium. “Since launching a couple years ago, our team continues to bring the levels of dedication and experience needed to foster a deeper understanding of developers’ needs and to make a notable impact.”

“The Next Big Things in Tech provides a fascinating glimpse at near- and long-term technological breakthroughs across a variety of sectors,” says Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “Spanning everything from semiconductors to agricultural gene editing, the companies featured in this year’s list are tackling some of the world’s most pressing and vexing problems.”

This year, 138 technologies developed by established companies, startups, or research teams are featured for their potential to revolutionize the lives of consumers, businesses, and society overall. While not all technologies are available in the market yet, each is reaching key milestones to have a proven impact in the next five years.

This award further validates the impact produced by Codeium. Notably, the company has been inducted into JPMorganChase’s Hall of Innovation at its 16th annual Technology Innovation Symposium and selected as one of Forbes 2024 AI 50 List.
