Continue Dev, Inc.

Continue Dev, Inc. is a San Francisco-based software company founded in 2023 by Nate Sesti and Ty Dunn. The company develops Continue, an open-source AI coding assistant that integrates directly into popular IDEs including VS Code and JetBrains, allowing developers to connect and configure a range of AI models for tasks such as code completion, inline editing, chat, and autonomous agent workflows.

Continue's core product is distributed as an open-source extension, giving developers and teams the ability to bring their own models—whether hosted via providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Ollama, or self-hosted—rather than being locked into a single vendor. The company also offers Continue Hub, a paid platform targeting teams and enterprises that adds governance, model quality controls, and configuration management on top of the open-source foundation.

The project gained traction on GitHub with a substantial number of stars and contributors shortly after launch, reflecting adoption among developers seeking model-agnostic alternatives to proprietary coding assistants. The company has raised early-stage funding, though specific round sizes have not been publicly disclosed. The team remains small, consistent with an early-stage startup.
