Automating mobile app testing

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

We built a platform that automates testing of mobile apps across a large range of Android and iOS devices and OS versions. Instead of buying and maintaining a device lab, developers and QA engineers run their native and hybrid app tests on real, non-jailbroken devices hosted by us. This ensures full device coverage without the hassle or expense of upgrading physical hardware constantly.

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

We currently live in California, USA, and the company will be based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in California where many app developers work and where the tech ecosystem is strongest. Staying here lets us be close to potential customers and partners.
