As AI-generated code explodes, the artifact management platform positions itself as critical infrastructure for governing, securing, and scaling modern software development.
Cloudsmith raises $72M Series C to secure the AI-era software supply chain

Universal artifact management platform Cloudsmith has raised $72 million in Series C financing led by TCV with participation from Insight Partners, along with investments from other existing investors. 

The additional funding positions Cloudsmith for massive growth to power the era of AI-driven software development. As AI coding agents generate code at unprecedented velocity and volume, the software artifacts and dependencies they produce introduce an expanding threat surface that is now a board-level concern.

Enterprises must manage ever-larger software supply chains, which span open source libraries, internal packages, and third-party dependencies, all while facing growing regulatory pressure to prove that AI-generated software is secure by design. Cloudsmith gives engineering teams the infrastructure to manage, secure, and govern every package across every format and environment.

Built cloud-native from the ground up, Cloudsmith provides the visibility and supply chain controls that modern enterprises need to ship with confidence. 

The additional investment, one year after Cloudsmith’s Series B, follows a period of strong year-over-year growth, as enterprises seek modern infrastructure that keeps pace with the speed and scale of AI-generated software. Increasing numbers of existing customers, including Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies, are replacing legacy tools and upgrading to Cloudsmith's cloud-native platform. At the same time, enterprises that adopt AI-coding agents are turning to Cloudsmith to provide the guardrails and governance their software supply chains require. 

According to Glenn Weinstein, CEO of Cloudsmith, we’re never going back to hand-crafted software. AI agents generate so much software, so fast, it's nearly impossible for humans to carefully review it all. 

"Cloudsmith has the scale and the broad view across the open-source ecosystem to protect enterprises against the new kinds of threats that AI-driven development introduces.”

“Having led Cloudsmith’s Series B and now its Series C, TCV is proud to deepen our partnership with a company we see as defining artifact management for the AI era. As AI shapes the software supply chain, we believe Cloudsmith is uniquely positioned to become a platform enterprises rely on for compliance, control, and security at global scale,” said Morgan Gerlak, Partner at TCV.

“In an era increasingly defined by AI-driven development, securing the software supply chain is critical. As a cloud-native offering, Cloudsmith is well-positioned to do this – providing the scale and reliability needed to help power enterprise and AI-driven builds and mitigate emerging risks. We believe in Cloudsmith’s vision to secure the software supply chain by serving as a curated, AI-ready solution for enterprises of all sizes,”  said Thomas Krane, Managing Director at Insight Partners.

Cloudsmith will use the funding to accelerate product development and expand its go-to-market capabilities.
