The continuous documentation startup, Swimm, today announced the launch of an open beta, granting free access to any team that wishes to use the platform. With the use of Swimm’s continuous documentation platform, organizations can simplify the process of creating, finding, and maintaining relevant documentation as part of the existing development workflows.
Swimm ensures that documentation is up to date through the introduction of “live” code snippets that automatically sync with changes made to the code base. In addition, the platform offers users access to documentation such as tutorials, guides, and walkthroughs in a secure Web App.
In addition, Swimm announced a $27.6 million Series A funding round. This financing round brings Swimm’s total funding to $33.3 million and was led by Insight Partners with participation from Dawn Capital as well as existing seed investors Pitango First and TAU Ventures.
