Accel led a $36.5m Series A round in Code Metal.

Accel, a venture capital firm, led a $36.5m Series A round in Code Metal, a firm specializing in translating advanced research algorithms, with participation from RTX Ventures, Bosch Ventures, Smith Point Capital, Overmatch VC, AE Venture, Shield Capital, J2 Ventures, Fulcrum Venture Group, John Tenet, Paul Schimmel, Kendall Collins, Robert Cohn, and Chris Heinz. "Vibe coding helps software teams build MVPs fast. But it doesn't address our customers' needs: writing zero-error production code onto hardware. Helping industries like auto and defense not get left behind by AI: that isn't purely an AI problem. It's where multiple disciplines meet, and that's where Code Metal operates. Revisiting the industries where I began, and demonstrating real impact in production, has been a full-circle moment. The momentum we're seeing speaks for itself," Peter Morales, Code Metal Founder and CEO.
