Singapore-based developer tools startup VoidZero has raised $12.5 million in a Series A round led by Accel, with participation from Peak XV Partners, Sunflower Capital, and angel investors including Koen Bok, founder of design tool Framer, and Eric Simons, co-founder of StackBlitz.

The fresh capital will fund the commercial rollout of Vite+, VoidZero’s unified JavaScript toolchain, and support hiring and further investment in its open-source projects.

Founded in 2023 by Evan You, who also created the popular front-end framework Vue.js and the build tool Vite, VoidZero aims to streamline JavaScript development by consolidating multiple steps—such as building, testing, linting, and project management—into a single interface.

“Our mission is simple: make JavaScript developers dramatically more productive,” said You in a statement. “With Vite+, we’re building a unified, high-performance toolchain developers can trust across every stage of their workflow.”

VoidZero’s tools, including Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, and Oxc, are already widely adopted in the web development community. According to the company, Vite sees around 36 million weekly downloads, while Vitest, its testing framework, records 16 million. These projects are used by engineering teams at OpenAI, Shopify, Stripe, Cloudflare, Hugging Face, and Mercedes-Benz.

For Accel and Peak XV Partners, the investment aligns with a broader push into developer infrastructure, a segment gaining traction as startups seek to improve software productivity and security.

The funding also underscores Peak XV Partners’ ongoing bet on developer-focused innovation across India and the wider Asia Pacific region. India alone is home to one of the world’s fastest-growing developer communities, with more than 11 million developers and over 440,000 organisations active on GitHub.

The deal comes amid a modest rebound in software and IT startup funding in Southeast Asia.

According to DealStreetAsia’s Southeast Asia Deal Review for Q3 2025, the sector logged eight equity deals totaling $10.8 million, up from five in each of the previous two quarters. That brought total funding for the first nine months of the year to $49 million.
