Raleigh tech startup gets ready to scale after landing $750,000 in equity
Summary
Less than a year after graduating from Techstars Kansas City Accelerator, the Raleigh startup has landed $750,000 in funding for its no-code test automation platform powered by artificial intelligence. “As a legal immigrant from Mexico, I’m experiencing firsthand what makes the United States the land of opportunity, its co-founder Ivan Barajas Vargas tells Hypepotamus. Around that time, he received a master’s degree in business at UNC-Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler, where he learned about entrepreneurship and began to realize all the problems that software quality assurance had. It’s the “first and only” quality assurance acceleration platform, the company says, designed to make every software tester “20-times faster.” This month, it launched its latest iteration, Muuk Effortless, which includes a new user interface “to make the experience of our users easier and speed up their test automation even more.” The company is also working on its next iteration, Muuk +, which includes selected tools from its current platform re-engineered to solve pains in existing test automation environments, like Selenium. “As one good friend entrepreneur from Raleigh says, ‘Product-market-fit could constantly be shifting, so the building and learning never ends.’” Click here to sign up for the Hypepotamus newsletter, and you’ll get weekly emails covering the tech startup community in the Southeast, with all the latest jobs, news, events, and announcements.
