Moderne automates code modernization by analyzing entire stacks and performing framework/library migrations, security vulnerability fixes, and upgrades to cloud-native equivalents. Its platform is built atop OpenRewrite and extends that foundation with multi-repository support, a web-based UI, reporting, and analytics. The company has added AI-assisted auto-refactoring powered by OpenRewrite’s Lossless Semantic Tree to enable large-scale, accurate code transformations. Moderne serves customers ranging from enterprises like Walmart and Allstate to small teams (its smallest customer has six developers) and claims about 50 employees. The team has shifted the company identity toward AI (including a domain move to .ai) and is expanding into application security auto-remediation, recently hiring its first chief information security officer. Financially, Moderne had raised around $20 million prior to this round and is using new funding to build AppSec capabilities and scale enterprise features. Moderne provides a SaaS platform that accelerates software development by automating code migration and fixes across a company’s entire application stack and codebase. Its technology is based on OpenRewrite, a large-scale automated refactoring tool that co-founder Jonathan Schneider developed while at Netflix and initially targeted Java. The platform enables full framework migrations (for example, Spring Boot 1 to 2 and JUnit 4 to 5), security-vulnerability fixes, and building blocks to simplify authoring custom transformations. Moderne’s SaaS is currently in private beta with early adopters and design partners. The company has begun expanding beyond Java into other languages and infrastructure-as-code, starting with Kubernetes, YAML, and XML refactoring. It intends to use recent funding to further develop its SaaS capabilities and to expand its engineering team. Founded by Jonathan Schneider and Olga Kundzich, Moderne is based in Seattle, WA.
