Introduction

Squidler, a Skåne-based startup, has secured 6 million SEK in angel funding to revolutionize website quality assurance.

I believe Squidler represents a significant opportunity to make a profound and positive impact on the software industry. It represents a pivotal shift from automated to truly autonomous testing. This level of autonomy and intelligence offers businesses unparalleled efficiency and coverage that I have never come across previously. The future of web testing is here, and Squidler is making quality assurance both scalable and smarter. It's a win-win, offering substantial benefits for companies, their customers and the end users. says investor Johan Billgren.

For their users, Squidler delivers website testing and quality assurance the way most people expect it to work - provide a URL, get your website tested and get a screen recording of any problem found.

CEO Mattias Ask says:
Today, more and more online experiences are being created and generated with services and AI. Despite this, testing is still manual, either through exploratory point-and-click or by writing code that verifies code. Almost 30% of all IT budgets are spent on testing in some form. Squidler provides an exploratory testing baseline for everyone. Imagine having a person on your team who opens up your website, checks all the copy they see, reacts to bugs, crashes and usability issues, points out all the things that are not in line with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), and more... This is Squidler.

Mattias continues,
The recent investment from our business angels empowers us to accelerate our product development and expand both our offer and our reach. Already today we collaborate with customers and enhance Squidler’s capabilities continuously, but with this inflow of capital we are able to offer a completely free plan and enable Squidler for every organization with a website. The entire team is extremely excited about this opportunity to truly democratize website quality.
