Spotify’s Backstage Gets a Serious Challenger as Port Raises $100M

[ed]

Spotify’s open-source Backstage may dominate internal developer portals, but Israeli startup Port is emerging as a powerful proprietary rival — and investors are taking notice. The company just secured a $100 million Series C led by General Atlantic, pushing its valuation to $800 million.
Port’s platform doesn’t just catalog developer tools — it now manages AI agents as well, giving companies a structured way to organize, monitor and control the fast-growing universe of autonomous dev agents. With customers like GitHub, BT and LG, Port is positioning itself as the polished, enterprise-ready alternative to Backstage.

Competition is good. Port raising $100M shows they're ready to take on established players like Backstage.

Backstage finally has a strong rival. This could push innovation forward for everyone.

Kwon getting less time than SBF makes sense given their different levels of cooperation and case complexity.
