August 11, 2026 · 55 min

Show notes

Harjot Gill is the co-founder and CEO of CodeRabbit, the AI code review company that became the most installed AI app on GitHub and GitLab. Over about two years, CodeRabbit went from zero to over $50M in ARR and a $1B+ valuation. It is his third startup.

In this episode of Summation, Harjot and Auren discuss:

  • Why the bottleneck in software just moved from writing code to reviewing it
  • Why mature companies now adopt AI first
  • Why you should never let a coding agent review its own work
  • The playbook that took CodeRabbit from zero to $50M+ in two years
