There’s “shipping code,” and then there’s reshaping the way infrastructure gets written, automated, and trusted, line by line, PR by PR. Digger isn’t just building dev tools. They’re cracking open the Terraform playbook and piping in AI where it actually makes sense: inside the pull request, where infrastructure meets risk, cost, and reality.
Today, Digger just dropped a seismic $3.6M seed round led by Initialized Capital, with an ensemble cast of elite operators joining the table, Datadog’s Olivier Pomel, Sentry’s David Cramer, WorkOS’s Michael Grinich, Resend’s Zeno Rocha, Looker’s Ben Porterfield, Percona’s Peter Zaitsev, OAuth’s Eran Sandler, motiveforce’s Oana Olteanu, and Palumni VC. This round isn’t noise, it’s signal, backed by builders who know what pain feels like when cloud sprawl eats your pipeline.
Let’s talk team. Igor Zalutski, Co-Founder & CEO, isn’t new to scaling chaos, he did it at Palantir and Tictrac. Mohamed Habib, Co-Founder & CTO, brought Amazon-level infrastructure to Prime Video’s edge. And Utpal Nadiger, Co-Founder & Growth Engineer, built products before startups knew what “velocity” meant. These aren’t weekend warriors. They met at Entrepreneur First, clicked over the agony of managing AWS, and started laying the rails for something better.
Fast forward to 2025. Over 500,000 downloads. 4,500+ GitHub stars. 300+ companies, from freight beasts to finance fortresses, trusting their deployments to Digger’s open source engine. No vendor lock-in. No new servers to babysit. Just clean Terraform automation and an AI agent that spots the landmines before you ship.
Their stack? digger.dev and Infrabase. Open-source at the core. Gemini 2.5 Pro and o4-mini under the hood. Pull request automation with real teeth, concurrency, drift detection, natural language policy enforcement, and RBAC via Open Policy Agent. Plug into GitHub, GitLab, Buildkite, Slack, Jira, Linear. It’s IaC meets CI without the overhead.
Now with dual HQs in London and San Francisco, Digger is scaling up, headcount, product velocity, and global reach. This raise fuels the next wave: platform expansion, deeper AI integrations, and turning infrastructure automation from black magic into muscle memory.
