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

Momentic, the AI-native testing platform for modern development teams, has secured $15 million in Series A funding to tackle what the company identifies as a critical 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.

The investment comes at a pivotal moment in software development, where AI coding tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor are dramatically accelerating code output but simultaneously generating bugs faster than traditional testing methods can catch them. This technological shift has created what Momentic co-founder and CEO Wei-Wei Wu describes as an urgent need for modern testing infrastructure that can keep pace with AI-driven development.

We started Momentic because we saw too many engineering teams drown in broken tests while bugs still reached production, said Wu. 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 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, drawn to Momentic's vision of becoming the essential verification layer for software development.

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 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 platform's impact is already measurable across its customer base, which includes leading technology teams like Notion, Xero and Collectors; AI companies like Runway and Reducto; and category leaders like Quora and Bilt. In the past month alone, Momentic executed over 200 million steps, 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 software. As AI coding tools continue to reshape software development, Momentic aims to position itself as the essential quality assurance solution that ensures software reliability in an era of accelerated development cycles.
