Congrats @nerdwillz @feng_2000! @ShiplightAI automated testing and verification is removing an important bottleneck in AI powered software development! 🚀
Will Zhao@nerdwillz

🚀 Today we’re coming out of stealth and unveiling @ShiplightAI, the most reliable AI-native testing platform that scales E2E test coverage with near-zero maintenance. For years, software teams have accepted a painful tradeoff: Move fast and risk breaking production, or slow down under the weight of brittle tests and endless QA maintenance. AI-assisted coding makes this gap even wider. Modern teams ship faster than ever. Products change daily. Yet testing is still stuck in a world of scripts, manual upkeep, and fragile workflows that collapse the moment your UI changes, making testing the new bottleneck. Feng and I built @ShiplightAI to make testing a force multiplier for modern software teams. As AI accelerates coding, autonomous, reliable testing closes the loop from code to confident releases. Our goal is simple but ambitious: Make test coverage effortless, and teams can ship with confidence anytime. This mission is personal for us. Throughout our careers, we’ve always been obsessed with building high-quality software that lasts. We’re already trusted by some of the most innovative, fast-moving teams. Seeing Shiplight earn their trust and transform their release cycles is the strongest signal that we’re building something real. We’re grateful to be backed by Pear VC (Shravan Reddy, Mar Hershenson) and Embedding VC (Roger Luo), along with incredible angels like Oliver Jung. We’re just getting started, and we can’t wait to partner with more teams who are building fast and care deeply about quality. 👉 Book a demo: shiplight.ai/demo #AI #SoftwareEngineering #QAAutomation #ShiplightAI #AgenticAI

💡 Pricing is one of the most powerful & most overlooked GTM levers. In reality, it should be a dynamic driver of growth. In the AI era, old pricing tools can’t keep up. Speed, intelligence, adaptability are the new bar. That’s why @pearvc is backing @spyrikaras & Dealops.
