A second act from proven founders
Macroscope was founded in July 2023 by Kayvon Beykpour and Joe Bernstein — the duo who sold Periscope to Twitter, where Beykpour went on to lead consumer product — together with Rob Bishop, who sold Magic Pony Technology to Twitter. Emerging from stealth in September 2025, the San Francisco company applies AI to a deceptively hard problem: understanding what is actually happening inside a codebase.
Product
Macroscope connects to GitHub and delivers three things. First, automatic status: real-time, plain-English summaries of what's changing across pull requests, so engineers and product leaders stop chasing updates. Second, AI code review that catches bugs in PRs, benchmarked by the team as best in class. Third, an agent that answers natural-language questions about the code, product, and development activity — and can take action. Customers include Opendoor and Perplexity. Pricing starts at $30 per active developer per month with a free GitHub-connected tier and enterprise options.
Funding
Macroscope has raised $40M total, including a $30M Series A closed in July 2025 led by Michael Mignano at Lightspeed, with Thrive Capital, GV, and Adverb participating — one of the larger bets on AI codebase intelligence.
