Momentic Secures $15 Million Series A Funding to Address AI-Driven Software Testing Crisis

Momentic, the AI-native testing platform for modern development teams, has announced it raised $15 million in Series A funding led by Standard Capital, with participation from Dropbox Ventures and existing investors including Y Combinator, FCVC, Transpose Platform and Karman Ventures. The investment will accelerate Momentic's mission to build the definitive verification layer for software as traditional testing infrastructure struggles to keep pace with AI-generated code production.

Despite decades of innovation, the promise of fully automated testing has remained elusive, still requiring significant human intervention. Now, as AI coding tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor dramatically accelerate code output, they're generating bugs faster than traditional testing methods can catch them. This creates a critical bottleneck in software development that Momentic aims to solve through its AI-native approach to quality assurance.

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 led by Standard Capital gives us the resources to build what the industry desperately needs: a validation layer to become the intelligent guardrail for software development across all applications, platforms and industries.

Standard Capital, the AI-native Series A firm founded by former Y Combinator partner Dalton Caldwell, Bryan Berg and Paul Buchheit, led the round in one of the first investments from their new fund. The firm moved from initial application to term sheet in just two weeks, demonstrating the urgency of the testing problem Momentic addresses. 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.

Momentic has quickly become the standard for companies shipping quality software, serving organizations across various sizes and industries. The platform is used by leading technology teams like Notion, Xero and Collectors; AI companies like Runway and Reducto; and category leaders like Quora and Bilt. The scale of Momentic'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 while preventing more than 390,000 bugs from reaching production.

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 modern software development.
