Warsaw-based startup Graftcode, which removes integration layers and enables cross-language system connections with a single command, has raised €2.1 million in a round led by Hard2beat, with participation from DigitalOcean Ventures, Heartfelt Capital, and private investors including employees. The round brings its total funding to €6.5 million, as Vestbee was told.
- Established in 2023 by Przemysław Ładyński and Łukasz Ładyński, Graftcode develops a developer infrastructure platform that removes traditional software integration layers by enabling code written in different programming languages to call each other directly, without APIs, middleware, or custom client code.
- The company says its system can make service interactions up to 70% faster than conventional web services and reduce CPU usage to around one-eighth compared with REST and gRPC-based approaches.
- Its core product is a runtime communication layer that automatically generates strongly typed clients from exposed service methods, which can be installed via standard package managers and used as dependencies in other applications. Graftcode supports around 20 programming languages and integrates with major cloud providers including AWS, Azure, and GCP, targeting use cases across frontend, backend, microservices, and AI-driven systems.
Details of the deal
- The fresh capital is intended to support Graftcode’s next stage of growth by expanding its supported programming languages, deepening compatibility with AI-driven development workflows, and continuing to develop its runtime bridging platform.
- It will also help the company scale adoption among developers, with a target of reaching 200,000 users by the end of 2026, while strengthening its position as a new standard for software integration.
“With over 20 million developers globally, the need for simpler ways to connect software systems is only growing. This challenge becomes even more critical as companies build increasingly complex, AI-driven applications. Graftcode introduces a fundamentally new approach that has the potential to reshape how developers build and scale modern software," explains Maciej Zawadzinski, Partner at Hard2beat.
