One year ago, we set out with a vision: to fundamentally transform how software is tested. Not incrementally. Not by 10%. But to completely reinvent it from the ground up. We asked ourselves: What if testing could be as seamless as clicking a button? What if development teams could focus solely on creating, without the burden of bugs holding them back?
That's Quash.
After bootstrapping the venture and impacting hundreds of developers and testers, we're thrilled to announce that some of the industry's top investors have partnered up with us on this journey. We recently completed our Pre-Seed Fundraise of $635,000 led by Arali Ventures, with contributions from Java Capital, PeerCheque, DeVC by Matrix Partners, and Abhishek Goyal from Tracxn.
Quash started out with a simple idea - to enable product builders to build better, and faster. We identified the bottlenecks in the system, and pledged to transform how things were being done to a much more streamlined and efficient way of doing them. At this point, we have already changed the way teams work and collaborate to test their products, and we do have much more in store that we're working on.
The announcement of our funding round has garnered attention from several leading outlets like Inc42, Entrackr, YourStory, Entrepreneur India, and more. The support from LinkedIn, in particular, has been tremendous, highlighting the broader interest in our mission to improve testing through AI.
With the Pre-Seed Fund, we would be diving-in headfirst into building AI Agents for testing, and expanding our customer base to US and European Markets. We're confident about the emerging capabilities of technology, and intend to leverage AI to automate testing end-to-end.
Since we started, we have been a developer-focused company, solving for the day-to-day troubles of these tech champions. To further contribute to the developer community, and to learn more from them, we have also released Quash MAX as an open source project on GitHub. We aim to collaborate with developers across the world in taking the tool further, and to provide value to their lives.
Quash Automate - our new AI offering, aims to take things further ahead by automating the process of testing apps entirely. We're developing Agentic AI to autonomously make decisions and take the steps to identify, scope, generate and execute tests. We want teams to be focused on innovation and building amazing products, while Quash takes care of all of their testing needs.
We are currently onboarding our first cohort of customers for an early access of the platform as we scale it further. With this fund, we would be refining our AI models and building the infrastructure to support large-scale end-to-end testing for mobile applications.
We are heartily grateful to our extremely talented team who has believed in this vision of ours and is helping us in transforming it into reality. We're also grateful to our users and customers who have given us invaluable feedback and insights. And lastly, we are extremely grateful to the investors who have put their trust in us and have given us the means to take this venture forward.
Remember, it's still Day 1 at Quash. We have a long way to go, but our relentless focus on customers, coupled with our willingness to think long-term, will guide us as we continue to invent on behalf of developers everywhere.
Onwards and upwards!
