Evolution Of Qualiti’s Technology
How has the company’s technology evolved since launching? Handy noted:
“We are moving into back-end testing, which will greatly increase test coverage for all applications.”
Customer Success Stories
After asking Handy about customer success stories, he cited:
“We have had some companies find an increased amount of bugs and have been able to not hire QA and faster development cadences.”
Funding/Revenue
After asking Handy about funding information, he revealed:
“We have raised 6.5 million in funding and are just about to do our general release.”
Total Addressable Market
What total addressable market (TAM) size is the company pursuing? Handy assessed:
“We are (initially) targeting just the Test Automation market of $20 billion.”
Differentiation From The Competition
What differentiates the company from its competition? Handy affirmed:
“Qualiti creates the test automation suite COMPLETELY hands-off. No input or training from developers.”
Future Company Goals
What are some of the company’s future company goals? Handy concluded:
“We aim to be the platform for all things quality. We want Qualiti to be the one-stop shop for each aspect of a team’s quality needs.”
