Momentic, the AI-native testing platform for modern development teams, has secured $15 million in Series A funding to address the growing testing bottleneck in software development. The funding round was led by Standard Capital with participation from Dropbox Ventures and existing investors including Y Combinator, FCVC, Transpose Platform and Karman Ventures. This investment comes at a critical time when AI coding tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor are dramatically accelerating code output, generating bugs faster than traditional testing methods can catch them.
We started Momentic because we saw too many engineering teams drown in broken tests while bugs still reached production, said Wei-Wei Wu, Co-founder and CEO of Momentic. AI has made us faster at writing code, but our testing tools are stuck in the past. This round gives us the resources to build what the industry desperately needs: a validation layer to become the intelligent guardrail for software development. Standard Capital, the AI-native Series A firm founded by former Y Combinator partner Dalton Caldwell, led the round in one of the first investments from their new fund.
As AI makes it trivial to generate code, and most code written will be written by AI, the real value shifts to the systems that verify the generated code works, said Dalton Caldwell at Standard Capital. Momentic is becoming the source of truth and guardrail layer for all software products. We believe Momentic has the opportunity to be the most valuable component of the future software stack. The firm moved from initial application to term sheet in just two weeks, demonstrating strong confidence in Momentic's approach to solving the testing challenge.
Momentic has established itself as a critical testing platform for companies shipping quality software, serving organizations of all sizes including leading technology teams like Notion, Xero and Collectors; AI companies like Runway and Reducto; and category leaders like Quora and Bilt. The platform's impact is demonstrated by its execution of over 200 million steps in the past month, automating the equivalent of nearly 300,000 hours of manual testing. During that same period, Momentic prevented more than 390,000 bugs from reaching production, establishing itself as the definitive verification layer for teams shipping with confidence.
Before Momentic, our Selenium suite gave us good signal but was expensive to maintain, said Erdem Alparslan, Head of Developer Experience at Notion. Today every engineer runs Momentic tests on every PR, merge, and deploy as part of their normal workflow. We define critical flows in plain English, Momentic does the heavy lifting, and it has noticeably improved both our release cadence and our confidence in each deploy. The Series A funding will enable Momentic to expand its engineering team, accelerate product development, and scale go-to-market efforts as the company pursues its vision of becoming the definitive verification layer for software.
Since the company's founding in late 2023, Momentic's customers have executed more than 2 billion steps, with manual replication of this testing volume requiring multiple decades to achieve. For more information, visit https://momentic.ai.
