Sema CEO Matt Van Itallie joins Code Story to discuss the evolution of software integrity and automated code analysis. Matt shares how Sema originated from recognizing the lack of executive-level insights into code and engineering teams, similar to what CRMs provide for sales. Sema developed comprehensive code scans across 40+languages and recently expanded into analyzing AI-generated code content in codebases.
The conversation explores Sema's journey from extensive research to their first product, the challenges of balancing product scope and depth, and the importance of customer feedback in shaping their roadmap. Matt discusses Sema's core values, their approach to building a global remote team, and strategies for managing scalability in a startup environment. He also touches on the significance of earning trust from major organizations and Sema's vision for the future of code analysis and AI governance in software development.
