Accel Leads $3M Seed Round in Patchwing
We at Patchwing, a developer tools company founded by the creators of Flutter, have raised a $3M seed round led by Dan Levine of Accel, with participation from leading founders and operators across the ecosystem. Investors include Paul Copplestone, Miguel de Icaza, Andrew Lee, Jessica McKellar, Chris McKillop, Andrew Miklas, Neha Narkhede, Yuri Sagalov, and Linus Upson.
Patchwing helps businesses succeed with Flutter. We started this journey by solving one of the biggest pain points in mobile development: slow release cycles. Our first product, Code Push, enables developers to deliver instant over-the-air updates to Flutter apps across iOS, Android, and Desktop Systems, bypassing traditional app store review bottlenecks. Already, millions of users receive updates powered by Patchwing every day.
Expanding Products and People
With this round, Patchwing has been able to accelerate product development, start its team, and expand its platform beyond Code Push. Most recently, we launched our second product Patchwing CI, a zero-config continuous integration system built exclusively for Flutter and Dart. We are currently hiring for a few new roles, and are excited to bring more talented people into the team to help build faster, support more customers, and invest even more in the Flutter ecosystem.
“Mobile development has always lagged behind the web when it comes to speed of iteration,” said Eric Seidel, CEO of Patchwing and creator of Flutter. “Patchwing is here to change that. With Code Push and now Patchwing CI, we’re making Flutter development faster, more reliable, and better aligned with how modern teams build software.”
“We’re excited to back Patchwing at this very early stage,” said Dan Levine, Partner at Accel. “Eric and the team bring unmatched expertise as the original builders of Flutter. Patchwing is solving a critical challenge for millions of developers and companies, and the early traction they have proves this is a category-defining opportunity.”
