Agentic AI startup Quash raises $635,000 in a pre-seed round led by Arali Ventures

Bengaluru-based Quash, an AI startup focused on automated software testing, has announced a pre-seed funding round of $635,000, led by Arali Ventures.

The round also saw participation from Java Capital, PeerCheque, DeVC by Matrix Partners, and Abhishek Goyal, co-founder of Tracxn. This fresh capital will be used to accelerate Quash’s AI-driven quality assurance (QA) solutions, expand its engineering team, and grow its developer community.

What does Quash do?

Quash is pioneering a new wave of mobile application testing by introducing agentic AI agents that automate every step of the quality assurance process, from detecting bugs to resolving them.

This approach aims to eliminate the need for manual QA testers, speeding up the release cycle and improving software reliability. The company’s open-source bug reporting tool, Quash Report, has already gained traction among more than 11 companies and hundreds of developers.

In addition, its Appstronauts community offers a dedicated platform for mobile developers seeking faster, more accurate testing solutions.

Led by founder and CEO Ayush Shrivastava, Quash seeks to remove inefficiencies in traditional QA workflows. By relying on AI to manage testing, engineering teams can devote more time to innovation and feature development rather than manual bug hunting.

The startup’s growing portfolio of tools includes Quash Automate, an AI-driven agent that oversees end-to-end testing, ensuring both speed and accuracy in software releases.

With its new funding, Quash plans to refine its existing offerings and strengthen its market presence. The startup aims to modernize QA processes for developers everywhere, making software releases both faster and more dependable.
