A bright future: Virtuoso, the leader of the world’s quality-first software revolution, receives $13m Series A funding.

London, UK – 15 November 2021

Like the knights of the round table, Virtuoso and its wise investors Crane Venture Partners, Forward Partners, and Downing Ventures have gathered for a Series A funding round led by Paladin Capital and joined by Mubadala Capital. The outcome? $13.3 million to secure Virtuoso’s growth as it leads the quality-first software revolution, powered by intelligent AI, Machine Learning, and Robotic Process Automation (RPA). 

Launched in 2019, Virtuoso’s SaaS software testing platform continues to redefine the boundaries of traditional test automation by providing a completely codeless solution for more robust, reliable testing that executes faster than ever before. Here at Virtuoso, we believe:

• The world of QA has not kept pace with the software industry’s transition to agile development. We’re going to fix that.
• In our technology dependent world, quality is at the heart of economic growth for companies of all sizes, in all industries. Simply, quality wins.
• It is time to deliver on the promise of codeless test automation.
• Companies need a way to easily and confidently build better products faster, so that the highest quality software can be released sooner. 
• The new standard in QA is not only test automation, but also intelligence automation - the ability to know exactly what to test, when, without being told. 
• Sophisticated test automation capabilities are for everyone: both developers and non-coders. For example, we enable manual testers to become automation engineers.
• Software QA should be just as continuous as CI/CD, and the community of QA workers all over the world should know the criticality of their work and the fun they can have doing it.

As our founder and CEO Adil Mohammed points out, this is just the tip of the iceberg. “Be it visual regression or API testing, we are pushing the boundaries of what is expected from a test automation platform. Partnering with Paladin and Mubadala Capital means we can take our product to software and testing teams in new markets and we’re excited to see its impact.”
