With $13.3 million in the bank from a fundraising round led by Paladin Capital and joined by Mubadala Capital, as well as existing investors Crane Venture Partners, Forward Partners, and Downing Ventures, Virtuoso looks to utilise its funding to continue to enhance its core product, increase its market share in the U.S. and expand its go-to-market team. The company has already begun to do so with recent key hires in the U.S, EMEA & APAC and a litany of product enhancements to close out 2021.
Adil Mohammed, Founder and CEO, Virtuoso, commented: “As companies rapidly expanded their tech investments during the pandemic, the burden on developers grew immensely, leading to widespread burnout and staff shortages. At Virtuoso, our robotic process automation-powered platform identifies bugs and errors at pace, cutting down testing times tenfold, while QA costs are decreased by up to 90%. By partnering with Virtuoso, companies can keep up with the pressures to release software quickly and reduce challenges for their staff, without excessive costs. The no-code testing space is fast-growing and we are proud to be leading the charge.”
