Sema

Sema provides code scanning for M&A and investment decisions. The job it does: making developers faster with better editors, debuggers and workflows.

It makes the most sense for software teams. They also list Developer Tools, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Sema is based in Baltimore, Maryland and around since 2017. Their site is semasoftware.com.

Things worth asking about: language support, team features, and privacy of your code. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.

If you have worked with Sema, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
