Fern gets $9M in funding to automate the creation and maintenance of software development kits
- Fern, a startup, has raised $9 million in funding to automate the creation and maintenance of software development kits (SDKs) and their documentation.
- The Series A funding round was led by Bessemer Venture Partners and Y Combinator, bringing Fern's total funding to $13 million.

- Their main offering, Fern SDK Generator, automates the publishing and maintenance of SDKs to platforms like GitHub and npm.
- In addition to SDKs, Fern also automates the creation of documentation websites called Fern Docs, providing API references and interactive playgrounds for developers.
- Fern's upcoming AI assistant, Ask AI, will answer technical questions about the documentation it creates.
- The company's approach aims to ensure a smooth developer experience with updated SDKs, well-documented methods, and interactive features.
- Fern's tools are already used by over 150 enterprises, and its future plans include Model Context Protocol servers for AI-driven integration.
