[Herdr Raises $6 Million: 4 Months, One Person Achieves 36,000 Stars] Beating AI News: Coding Agent runtime Herdr has completed a $6 million seed round of financing, led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation from Y Combinator and e2vc. Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke, Cloudflare CTO Dane Knecht, and fal co-founder Görkem Yurtseven also joined as investors. Herdr is currently a one-person team developed by Can Celik. It can be understood as a tmux specifically designed for Coding Agents: integrating Claude Code, Codex, Cursor Agent CLI, etc., into one environment for unified background management, status switching, and monitoring. Even if the terminal is closed or SSH is disconnected, the Agent can continue running. The project has been live for about 4 months, and at the time of financing, it had already garnered over 36,000 GitHub Stars, 780,000 downloads, and the community had created more than 1,000 plugins and related projects. The funds will primarily be used for hiring. Celik plans to build a small team to further improve runtime stability, performance, and scalability. Herdr's core runtime environment will remain open-source under the Apache 2.0 license and will not become closed-source due to the financing. Just a day prior, Herdr launched multi-machine management functionality, allowing users to manage Agents on local machines, servers, and Mac minis simultaneously within a single terminal.
