Make building with AI as collaborative as open source
The future of software won’t be written by one company. It'll be built by all of us
Once, software was something you could see, understand, and shape with others. Open source made code social. We learned from each other, reused what worked, and built on it. That spirit of shared progress transformed how we built software — and it’s missing from how we build with AI today.
Guild.ai is a platform for builders who care deeply about their craft — who see precision, reliability, and scale not as goals, but as the foundation of great software. For engineers who believe transparency isn’t optional — it’s essential to building products that are secure, trusted, and exceptional.
We’ve built tools designed for the next generation of intelligent systems. For teams that know openness isn’t just a philosophy. It’s how better systems are built, reviewed, and improved — together. That collective effort starts to take on a life of its own: a global network of human and machine intelligence, growing side by side. This is where AI development becomes human again.
We’re backed by a group of like-minded investors
Google Ventures
At GV, we back teams reshaping the foundations of how technology gets built. Guild.ai is creating the essential infrastructure layer for open, builder-first AI development—software that makes it easier and more reliable for developers to ship intelligent systems at scale. James and his team combine deep technical expertise with a clear product vision, and we’re excited to partner with them as they define how the next generation of AI products will be created.

At Acrew Capital, we believe Guild.ai is more than an AI investment—it’s a foundational play in how developers and engineers will build and operate intelligent systems for the next decade. The team is turning intelligence into impact, and we’re excited to lean in for the long game.
Scribble Ventures
We’ve known the Guild.ai team for years and have always admired their deep technical roots and relentless curiosity. What they’re building sits right at the intersection of AI and developer productivity, empowering engineers to understand and evolve complex systems faster than ever. We’re thrilled to support them on this journey.
Khosla Ventures
James and his team have a clear vision of the future that seems almost obvious in hindsight: as models and agents mature, engineering teams will adopt and deploy everything from 3rd-party agents to homegrown systems, creating the classic enterprise challenge of managing and maintaining these solutions. We're excited to partner with the Guild team as they build the control plane for enterprises to manage AI reliability, observability, and governance at scale.
Webb Investment Network
We’re thrilled to support the Guild team and their vision for developer-first AI infrastructure — a new foundation for how engineers build, understand, and scale intelligent systems. James Everingham and the deeply technical team are tackling one of the most critical challenges in software today: bringing clarity, reliability, and control to how we develop with AI, and we are excited to participate.
