Marie-Véronique Lacaze and the problem nobody could see
Customers could see the errors. Their internet provider could not. Marie-Véronique Lacaze helped build Witbe around that gap, then spent more than two decades bringing the viewer’s perspective into the machinery of digital services.
Global App Testing Finds the Bugs That Look Like Lost Customers
A failed payment can masquerade as a change of heart. Global App Testing sends people into the markets, devices and conversations where software quietly lets users down.
Mobot
Mobot is a New York-based company that runs a fleet of real mechanical robots to test mobile apps on physical iOS and Android devices. Positioned as the first robot-powered QA-as-a-service platform, it uses computer vision and AI-guided robots - supervised by human QA experts - to automate the repetitive, human-like tests that emulators and software frameworks cannot reliably reproduce, such as push notifications, deep links, Bluetooth pairing, camera flows and multi-device interactions. Founded in 2018 by Eden Full Goh and launched publicly in 2022 with a $12.5M Series A, Mobot helps engineering and product teams cut manual testing hours, catch more bugs before app-store release, and ship faster.
Witbe
Witbe is a French-American technology company that automates the testing and monitoring of video services the way real viewers actually experience them. Using its Witbox robots and software suite, Witbe runs continuous, non-intrusive tests on real devices - set-top boxes, smart TVs, phones, streaming sticks - across any network, measuring Quality of Experience (QoE) rather than backend Quality of Service. Founded in 2000 and listed on Euronext Growth, it serves more than 300 operators, broadcasters, and OTT providers in over 50 countries, and in 2025 launched Witbe Agentic AI to let teams script and run video tests using natural language.
