Quash, a Bengaluru-based AI startup has raised $635,000 in its pre-seed funding round led by Arali Ventures. The round also saw participation from Java Capital, PeerCheque, DeVC by Matrix Partners, and Abhishek Goyal, co-founder of Tracxn.
The funds raised will be used to accelerate its AI agent development and deployment, enhance its AI QA platform and expand its developer community initiatives for speedy and accurate software releases.
Ayush Shrivastava, CEO and founder of Quash, said, “At Quash, we are not just improving testing workflows; we are eliminating the need for them to be manual. 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.”
Arali Ventures principal Harshal Gupta said, “What excites us about Quash is their novel approach of building AI agents to solve for the entire QA process for mobile teams. Ayush, Prakhar and Hamza bring a very first principles approach to product and company building and we are excited to partner with them as they build a transformative AI company.”
Founded in 2023 by Ayush Shrivastava, Ameer Hamza and Prakhar Shakya, Quash is an AI-driven startup that develops autonomous AI agents that perform end-to-end mobile app testing. The startup claims that its AI-driven solutions eliminate the need for manual testers by automating the entire testing lifecycle – from bug detection to resolution.
