Weave raises $13.5 million to help companies measure AI coding productivity and curb tokenmaxxing
San Francisco-based startup Weave, which emerged from Y Combinator's Winter 2025 batch, has raised $13.5 million in Series A funding led by Standard Capital. The company builds software that quantifies the output of both human engineers and AI coding tools, consolidating it into an output score to help business leaders assess return on AI spending. Weave aims to replace legacy metrics like lines of code, which reward quantity over quality, and to discourage 'tokenmaxxing'—the practice of treating high-volume AI use as a productivity gauge. The startup currently measures output for 20,000 engineers at over 500 companies, including Robinhood and PostHog. Weave operates on a SaaS model priced at $50 per engineer per month. The 16-person team plans to use the funding for product development and go-to-market efforts.
