Mintlify, an AI platform for software documentation, closed a $45M Series B round led by a16z and Salesforce Ventures. The funding values the startup at $500M.

Mintlify automates the generation and maintenance of software documentation, including FAQs and user guides. The company serves approximately 20,000 companies using its AI system. The Series B round includes participation from both Andreessen Horowitz and Salesforce Ventures, two major players in enterprise software investment. Mintlify addresses a persistent challenge for software teams: keeping documentation current and comprehensive as products evolve. The $500M valuation reflects growing demand for AI-assisted development tools. Documentation remains a critical but often neglected aspect of software products, making automation solutions increasingly attractive to engineering teams managing rapid development cycles. The funding will support Mintlify's product development and sales expansion as it competes in the growing market for AI-powered developer tools.
