2025-11-18
BOSTON, MA, OpenHands, the open platform for cloud coding agents, today announced a $18.8 million Series A financing round.
The round was led by Madrona, with participation from Menlo Ventures, Obvious Ventures, Fujitsu Ventures, and Alumni Ventures. Unlike most agentic tools locked to a single IDE or LLM, OpenHands offers an open, enterprise-secure platform that lets companies run and scale autonomous coding agents inside their own cloud. The funding will accelerate OpenHands' mission to make software development more open, human-centered, and safe, enabling engineering teams to delegate real work to autonomous agents with full visibility and control. The company also announced a strategic collaboration with AMD to advance agent performance and enterprise readiness utilizing Lemonade Server, an open-source project with optimization for AMD hardware.
OpenHands is the open, secure, and model-agnostic platform for cloud-based software agents. OpenHands automates real engineering work asynchronously so teams ship faster, safer, and with complete control. Built on an open-source foundation with an enterprise-grade, containerized runtime, OpenHands scales from a single agent to thousands, integrates with your existing toolchain, and gives organizations full visibility and governance across every run.
