Autosana — self-healing software, finally.

Two friends. One massive problem. Every mobile app team in the world burning hours on QA scripts that break before the coffee gets cold. Yuvan Sundrani and Jason Steinberg decided enough was enough.

Auto
sana.

Latin. Verb. To heal oneself.

They didn't name their company something generic like TestBot or QualityAI. They reached for Latin — autosana — because what they're building isn't just testing software. It's a platform that learns, adapts, and heals alongside your product. Tests that evolve with the app. Agents that don't throw a tantrum every time someone moves a button three pixels to the left.

The Origin Story

Two Guys.
One Broken
Industry.

Yuvan Sundrani and Jason Steinberg have been building things together since middle school. Not metaphorically. Actual products. When they hit the startup world, they kept running into the same wall: mobile QA is a disaster.

Both worked as founding engineers at Shift Health and later at Storyit — enough reps on real mobile teams to understand exactly where development pipelines go to die. The culprit? Quality assurance. Specifically, the gap between how fast you can now build (thanks to AI coding tools) and how slow testing still is.

Cursor and Claude Code can 10x a developer's output. But when 70% of your time becomes QA? The math stops working. Someone needed to close that loop. Yuvan and Jason decided that someone would be them.

With how fast coding agents are evolving, QA is being left behind — there's no solution to truly close that gap. — Yuvan Sundrani, Co-Founder

70% of our job was now QA. Mobile is the most unsolved problem — the web has dozens of frameworks, mobile hasn't seen the same ecosystem attention. — Jason Steinberg, Co-Founder

Timeline

From Middle School
to $3.2 Million.

EARLY 2010s

The Friendship Begins

Yuvan and Jason meet in middle school. Two builders in the making. Club hockey at University of Maryland follows. Yuvan starts constructing CO₂-powered web-shooters and wrist-mounted flamethrowers. Jason learns startups are a team sport.

2020

First Venture: Contact Sharing App

Yuvan co-founds a contact sharing app. The two keep circling the same orbit. Mobile. Always mobile.

2021–2024

Founding Engineer Reps

Both work as founding engineers at Shift Health and Storyit. Yuvan goes on to become CPO at a martech startup hitting seven-figure ARR, then Engineer #1 at an AI-therapy startup. Jason bikes across America post-grad — two months, coast to coast — because why not.

JUNE 2025

Autosana Launches

The first agentic QA platform for iOS and Android ships. YC S25 batch. Natural language. No code. No fragile selectors. Tests that actually survive a UI update.

LATE 2025

Web Platform Added

Autosana expands beyond mobile. Web app testing joins the platform. The vision of a single agentic QA layer across all surfaces gets closer.

FEBRUARY 17, 2026

$3.2M Raised

Y Combinator, Pioneer Fund, Phosphor Capital, DeVC, 468 Capital, and a constellation of angels — including Paul Graham — back the round. Revenue growing 100%+ month over month. The company now powers QA for apps serving over 100 million daily active users.

The Builders

Meet the Founders

Co-Founder

Yuvan Sundrani

"Uv" — Builder, CPO, Superhero engineer

Yuvan is the kind of person who builds CO₂-powered web-shooters for fun. As a kid. His engineering instinct is visceral — products don't get designed, they get built, tested, broken, and rebuilt. He went from founding teams to CPO at a martech startup with seven-figure ARR, then back to Engineer #1 at an AI-therapy startup — all before founding Autosana.

Jason Steinberg

"Stein" — Operator, hustler, cross-country cyclist

Jason played club hockey at the University of Maryland and has been on the founding team of multiple mobile-first startups. He's worn every hat — engineering, ops, growth — which is exactly the skill set you need when you're building an agentic QA platform and telling the world that brittle test scripts are dead. Post-graduation, he biked across America. Two months. Because commitment is kind of his thing.

The Product

Your QA Engineer
Never Sleeps.

Autosana doesn't just run tests. It thinks like an engineer, sees like a user, and reports like a teammate. The whole flow takes less time to set up than a Slack thread about why QA is behind.

Upload Your App Bundle

Drop your iOS or Android bundle, or wire it directly into your CI/CD pipeline. No special build required.

💬

Describe in Plain English

Tell Autosana what to test — exactly like briefing a human QA engineer. "Check that checkout completes after login" is a valid test instruction.

🤖

Agent Does the Work

The AI agent navigates your app like a real user — tapping, scrolling, filling forms — while recording every session for visual verification.

🚨

Get Alerted Instantly

Bug found? Your team gets notified via email or Slack before users ever see it. Zero broken app releases on your watch.

The Shift

Before Autosana.
After Autosana.

The Old Way 💀

Manual QA & Brittle Scripts

Selector-based test scripts that break every release
Engineers spending 8+ hours per deployment on QA
Appium, Espresso, XCUITest — written, maintained, broken, rewritten
Massive spreadsheets of manual test cases
QA bottleneck slowing down deployment velocity
Even $100B+ companies abandoning scripts and going manual
Non-technical teams locked out entirely

The Autosana Way ✨

Agentic QA That Heals Itself

Natural language test descriptions — no code required
Self-healing tests that evolve alongside your UI
Framework-agnostic across iOS, Android and Web
Seamless CI/CD integration or scheduled runs
Visual session recordings for every test run
Slack & email alerts the moment a bug surfaces
Non-technical QA teams can now run complex flows

Story in Panels

The Autosana Origin
in Comic Form.

PANEL 1

😤

Dev team ships a feature at 2am. AI coding tools wrote it in 40 minutes. The QA backlog? 3 weeks.

SHIPPING IT ANYWAY

PANEL 2

💥

The checkout button stops working for Android users. 47,000 unhappy reviews pour in. CEO is not pleased.

WHOSE FAULT IS THIS

PANEL 3

🤖

Autosana runs 200 test flows overnight. Finds the bug at 3:47am. Pings the team on Slack before anyone opens their laptop.

BUG CAUGHT. YOU'RE WELCOME.

Platform Intelligence

Built for the
Full Stack
of Testing.

Autosana isn't a point solution. It's a platform vision — start with the hardest problem (mobile) and build outward. iOS and Android first, then web, then desktop, then richer validation layers. Every sprint, the moat gets deeper.

The infrastructure required to test real mobile apps — cloud device farms, visual understanding, non-deterministic flow handling — is genuinely hard. That's the moat competitors underestimate.

Who Bet Big.

When Paul Graham writes a check and YC leads the batch, the valley listens. Autosana's investor list reads like a who's-who of everyone who understands why mobile QA is the most underbuilt layer of the entire software stack.

Who It's For

If You Ship Apps,
You Need This.

🏃

Startups Moving Fast

No dedicated QA team. Shipping daily. Autosana acts as your on-call QA engineer — without the salary, the Jira tickets, or the three-day turnaround.

🏢

Enterprise Mobile Teams

Apps serving millions of users. Release every two weeks. Even $100B+ companies have abandoned brittle test scripts — Autosana gives them a better path forward.

🔧

Non-Technical QA

Product managers and QA analysts who live in spreadsheets, not codebases. Autosana lets them run complex regression flows using nothing but plain English.

⚡

AI-Accelerated Devs

Using Cursor, Claude Code, or Copilot? Building 10x faster? Then you have a QA bottleneck. Autosana closes the loop so your velocity doesn't stop at the finish line.

Opportunities

What Autosana
Is Looking For.

🤝

Enterprise Customers

Mobile apps with 100k+ users, complex regression flows, and teams spending real money on manual QA or brittle script maintenance. They're saving teams tens of thousands of dollars — they want to do it at scale.

🚀

Fast-Moving Startups

Teams using AI dev tools and shipping every week. If you're using Cursor or Claude Code and your QA hasn't kept up — Autosana is exactly what fills that gap.

🔗

Platform Integrations

CI/CD platforms, dev toolchains, and mobile infrastructure providers. Autosana is framework-agnostic by design — integration partnerships strengthen the moat.

💼

Talent & Team

Headcount is growing. They're looking for engineers and operators who understand mobile infrastructure deeply — people who've felt the pain firsthand and want to fix it permanently.
