Seed Round Led by First Round Capital to Accelerate AI-Driven QA Tools
Spur, a next-generation platform for automated website testing, has secured $4.5 million in seed funding. The round was led by First Round Capital, with participation from Pear VC, Y Combinator, and Neo. The investment will support Spur’s mission to empower product teams with AI agents that simplify and scale quality assurance processes.

Plain Language Meets Intelligent Automation
Spur enables users to create test cases using everyday language, allowing AI agents to emulate real user behavior—such as adding a product to a cart or submitting a form. These agents identify bugs, streamline debugging, and reduce reliance on traditional manual QA workflows. By eliminating complex test scripting, Spur brings testing capabilities directly into the hands of product teams.

Founders with Deep Roots in Product and AI
The company was founded by Sneha Sivakumar, formerly at Figma, and Anushka Nijhawan, who worked on research at DeepMind. Their combined expertise in user-centric design and machine learning has shaped Spur into a tool that delivers both power and usability for modern product organizations.

Adoption by High-Impact Brands Since Launch
Since launching during Y Combinator’s May batch, Spur has partnered with several product-led companies. Y Combinator uses Spur to manage its high-volume application flow. Wander leveraged the platform to improve its calendar interface, boosting conversions by 23% within a week. Norse Atlantic Airways increased its A/B testing velocity threefold by automating regression testing, while LivingSpaces implemented a full regression suite within one month.

Positioned for Rapid Growth and Expansion
Spur plans to expand its product features with advanced debugging capabilities and seamless integrations into popular development tools. The company is also focused on scaling operations and supporting a growing community of QA professionals. By enabling faster releases without compromising on quality, Spur is poised to become foundational infrastructure for product teams worldwide.
