Momentic has raised a $15 million Series A round led by Standard Capital, marking a significant step in the company’s effort to build what it describes as the definitive verification layer for modern software teams. Dropbox Ventures and existing backers Y Combinator, FCVC, Transpose Platform, and Karman Ventures also participated in the round, which the startup says will accelerate development of its AI-powered testing platform.
The company’s approach centers on enabling teams to create tests in plain English while its AI system autonomously navigates user flows, interacts with interfaces, and validates expected results. Rather than relying on brittle DOM selectors, Momentic tracks user intent, allowing tests to adapt automatically when UI elements change. The company positions this as a critical advancement at a time when AI coding tools such as GitHub Copilot and Cursor are dramatically increasing the speed at which developers ship software — along with the speed at which bugs can appear.
Momentic said the platform has already become embedded in workflows at companies including Notion, Quora, Webflow, and Xero. According to the company, more than 200 million steps were executed on its system in the past month, identifying over 390,000 bugs and automating the equivalent of nearly 300,000 hours of manual QA work. Since 2024, customers have run more than 2 billion steps on the platform, an activity that would take decades to reproduce manually.
The startup was founded after its team observed engineering organizations struggling with flaky automated tests and persistent regressions even as development speeds increased. The company said the new funding will support its work on building intelligent guardrails that keep pace with AI-accelerated development, providing reliability at scale and reducing the need for constant test maintenance.
