Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Spur is your AI QA Engineer.

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

We are building Spur, an AI-first QA platform that lets teams write tests for their websites using natural language instead of code. It automates all functional and end-to-end testing, so companies don't need to write tests themselves or hire external QA engineers. It handles flaky tests and continuously validates web apps.

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

We live in New York City, and Spur will be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose NYC because it's where we live and can recruit talent locally. We want to build Spur here long-term, where we understand the engineering customers and ecosystem.
