About Foam
foam.ai
Foam aims to be the highest signal tool out there to solve software bugs.
We've spent countless hours maintaining production systems and handling on-call rotations, when we'd rather have spent time developing core business. Most code is now AI-generated, but we fear debugging will still be left to us humans. So we decided to build Foam to ensure engineering jobs become more engaging, focused on high-level technical development and creativity.
We've raised $2.4M fromSouth Park Commons andThe House Fund. Our investors have previously backed notable companies including Pilot, Transcend, Perplexity AI, and Superhuman.
