Bengaluru-based AI startup Quash has raised $635,000 in pre-seed funding led by Arali Ventures, with additional investments from Java Capital, PeerCheque, DeVC by Matrix Partners, and Tracxn co-founder Abhishek Goyal. The funds will be used to accelerate the development of Quash’s AI-driven quality assurance (QA) platform, scale its engineering team, and expand community-building initiatives.
Quash is pioneering a new era of mobile app testing with autonomous QA agents that automate the entire testing lifecycle—from bug detection to resolution—effectively eliminating the need for manual testers. This approach significantly reduces inefficiencies, enhances accuracy, and ensures faster, high-quality software releases.
“At Quash, we are not just improving testing workflows; we are eliminating the need for them to be manual,” said Ayush Shrivastava, CEO and founder of Quash. “Our vision is to make QA so easy and efficient that developers can focus entirely on innovation, knowing their software meets the highest standards of quality.”
The startup has already launched two key offerings:
- Quash Report: An open-source bug reporting tool to streamline issue tracking.
- Appstronauts: A developer community that has garnered adoption by over 11 companies and hundreds of mobile developers.
Quash’s solutions aim to modernize QA processes by leveraging AI to enhance speed and precision, empowering engineering teams to focus on innovation rather than manual testing tasks.
The new funding highlights the growing demand for AI-powered tools to address traditional inefficiencies in software development, positioning Quash as a key player in transforming the QA landscape.
