The AI Pipeline That Just Proved Software Development Can Be 20,000x Faster
7.6 years of human work → 45 minutes of AI work → $1.46M cost savings
Investor Presentation | July 2025 | First External Funding Round
The Human Bottleneck Crisis
Software development is the only trillion-dollar industry still operating at human speed. While demand grows exponentially, supply remains linear.
Every day, $20 billion is wasted on failed software projects. AutoDev just proved this doesn't have to be the reality.
of software projects exceed their timeline, with average delays of 27% beyond planned delivery
average budget overrun on large software projects. Enterprise development costs $3,000-8,000 per task
of software projects fail completely. Success rate for complex projects drops to just 45%
of development time spent on maintenance and fixing technical debt instead of new features
global developer shortage by 2030. Average developer salary now exceeds $150,000 annually
increase in software demand by 2030, but development capacity growing at only 1.4x rate
While the world needs software faster than ever, traditional development methods are hitting fundamental limits. The $7.2 trillion software market is constrained by human bottlenecks that can't scale.
Breaking the Cost-Speed-Quality Trilemma
Every software project faces an impossible choice: fast, cheap, or good - pick two. AutoDev delivers all three by removing human constraints.
The world's first AI development pipeline that eliminates human bottlenecks completely
🔬 The Science:
Advanced AI agents handle requirements analysis, architecture design, code generation, testing, deployment, and monitoring—all in parallel, with perfect consistency and zero human intervention.

The Scale Impossibility - Solved
Traditional development can't scale. Adding more developers creates more complexity, not more speed. AutoDev scales infinitely with perfect consistency.
The Innovation Bottleneck - Eliminated
Great ideas die in development hell. 18-month build cycles kill startups and cripple enterprises. AutoDev delivers in minutes, not months.
