Blitzy, a GenAI company born out of the Harvard Innovation Lab and launched by NVIDIA Serial Inventor Sid Pardeshi and serial entrepreneur Brian Elliott, aims to automate end-to-end custom software development. Blitzy’s platform takes the requirements for a new product, runs it through a proprietary orchestration platform, and automates large portions of the software development process to achieve full autonomy in the coming years. And Blitzy also announced it is coming out of stealth with $4.4 million in initial capital from Link Ventures, Bessemer, Flybridge, NFX, Picus, and Asymmetric.
Blitzy is now offering access to its platform to a limited number of enterprises, and interested enterprises should book a meeting through the website for a demo. And the company has been proven entertaining for enterprises, as they take descriptions for product ideas live on the call, and build a comprehensive product for the viewer — from creating design specification documents to deploying the code on GitHub. While this is a fun way to experience the platform capabilities, enterprises have found the most profound value in onboarding existing code bases and enterprise-specific APIs onto a secure instance of the Blitzy platform, which has proven to be a game-changer in accelerating existing development projects.
The code generation space has seen a rise of co-pilots and AI pair programmers. But Blitzy believes AI code generation in isolation is not a sufficient path. Their autonomous development platform leverages an agentic orchestration framework, highly curated data sets, and several patent-pending inventions to drive its reliable and enterprise-grade software creation process.
Blitzy co-founder & CTO Sid Pardeshi is a former NVIDIA software architect awarded the NVIDIA Inventor’s Jacket for his exceptional rate of new AI inventions as he has filed 27 patents and counting. And Brian is a Serial Entrepreneur and West Point graduate, where he studied Systems Engineering with a focus in Simulation Design. They met at Harvard Business School, where they built an app overnight for a local bakery as their first project. This inspired them to radically rethink the software development lifecycle using a new multi-agent orchestration framework.
The company will use this funding round to hire additional engineers and expand its presence in Boston and Pune.
