Mobot, a New York-based provider of a QA-as-a-service platform, raised $12.5M in Series A funding.

The round was led by Cota Capital, with participation from Heavybit, Uncorrelated Ventures.

The company intends to use the funds to accelerate growth and expand operations.

Founded in 2018 and led by CEO Eden Full Goh, Mobot is a robot-powered QA-as-a-service testing platform for mobile applications. The solution uses mechanical robots on real, physical devices to provide businesses with automated testing of their mobile apps.

Challenging use cases that Mobot is able to automate tests for include:

  • Complex hardware and software interaction, such as multi-device interactions for instant messaging and ride hailing or Bluetooth/WiFi-enabled hardware connections.
  • Streaming data stability, particularly push notifications which are increasing in complexity and dependencies, such as Apple’s new Live Activities feature for iOS 16.
  • Backwards compatibility testing, like memory leaks triggered by third-party software on older iOS devices and camera testing across Android versions and manufacturers.
  • Critical action stability, such as revenue-generating activities like in-app purchases, subscription management, Apple/Google Pay, and payments API integration; user login, new account creation and multi-factor authentication (including SMS and biometrics); and app behavior when backgrounded or interrupted by a phone call.

Companies serving millions of users, including Citizen, Persona, Branch, Mapbox, and Radar, use it to test apps on hundreds of devices, platforms, and operating systems within hours.
