Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

AI-powered platform for E2E testing and load testing

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build Artillery, a platform that combines Playwright end-to-end testing, scalable load testing, and production monitoring with synthetic checks. It lets engineering teams ship quickly while reducing performance and reliability risks in production.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Limerick, County Limerick, Ireland, and work remotely. The company is currently based here and would continue to be flexible post-YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We picked Limerick because it's our home and a good base for remote work. The startup ecosystem here is growing, and we prefer building a global product remotely rather than relocating to a traditional tech hub.
