S3 | E23 | Rethinking Code Review with Tomas Reimers - CPO @ Graphite

Welcome to the ThinkData podcast, in partnership with Dataworks.

Today I’m joined by Tomas Reimers, co-founder and CPO of Graphite, a Series B startup that’s redefining code review with AI. We’ll be diving into how Tomas and the team validated demand, scaled the business without traditional marketing, and continue to stay ahead in a competitive space.

Here are some of the discussion points we’ll cover:

  • The problem Graphite set out to solve, and how Tomas knew people really needed it
  • Growing through education and community instead of traditional campaigns
  • Why they kept users on a waitlist and how they knew the product was ready for wider adoption
  • The challenges of explaining a new product category and making it resonate with users
  • What makes Graphite different in a crowded market, and how it plans to stay ahead
