CodeSee was founded in 2019 with the goal of developing the world's first solution for continuous understanding of codebases. CodeSee software creates auto-generated, self-updating code diagrams that sync to codebases as the code evolves. These CodeSee Maps provide developers with a convenient, reliable, visual foundation for understanding and maintaining codebases, simplifying the often laborious process of training new engineers and getting them up-to-date. The company just recently released their first public beta version of the software and already has more than 2,500 users. Co-founder and CEO Shanea Leven came up with the idea through her own experience as a developer and product manager. She has worked as a technical product manager for a variety of companies including eBay and Google. The global application development software market size was valued at $131.4 billion in 2020 and is projected to have a CAGR of nearly 25% year-over-year through 2028.

CodeSee Maps provide a reliable visual foundation for building codebase understanding, so developers can start making meaningful contributions without the friction often associated with on-boarding.

• They allow developers to visualize changes to review logically, segment files into related sections, and browse and compare them in Map and diff views. Users can create step-by-step, visual walkthroughs of changes, highlighting important steps and sharing guidance.
• Maps reflect the up-to-date codebase, with the ability to interact with and understand files and file relationships. Whether you're working independently or collaborating as a team, Maps can act as a single source of truth.
• Maps can be used to guide collaboration and communication with project stakeholders, no matter their code knowledge.
