Gearset wants to end the Salesforce release-night shift
The Cambridge software company built its business on the awkward work of moving Salesforce changes into production. Now it wants an AI teammate to build those changes, too - with the same checks on the way out.
Beround Spent a Decade Hunting Software Bugs. Now It Wants to Fix AI Adoption Before the Tools Arrive
The Dutch consultancy built its reputation on the unglamorous discipline of testing. That same habit now powers a people-first AI playbook that starts small, measures what matters and leaves room for a human to say no.
Buildkite Put the Cloud in Charge - Then Refused to Put Your Code There
The Australian developer-tools company won demanding engineering teams with a split-the-stack model: Buildkite coordinates the work, while customers choose where it runs. Now it is trying to turn that architectural compromise into a broader software-delivery platform.
Meticulous Wants Your Users to Write the Tests - So Your Engineers Can Ship the Code
The old bargain was simple: write more tests or accept more bugs. Meticulous is betting that recorded behavior, deterministic browsers and a startling amount of parallel compute can break that bargain - just as AI agents make verification the slowest part of shipping software.
ASIR Technologies
The former Oracle engineers behind ASIR Technologies built a consulting business around the systems enterprises cannot easily replace. Now their no-code ACRA platform is trying to make those systems far less painful to test, connect and operate.
Arcsona
Arcsona spent years doing the unglamorous work of making enterprise CRM behave. Now the Campbell consultancy is turning what it learned into reusable Salesforce products - without abandoning the complicated implementations that built its name.

Docket
Docket is a San Francisco AI QA testing platform that lets teams write end-to-end tests in plain English and keeps them running as the app changes. Instead of brittle CSS selectors, its multimodal agents look at the screen and click where a human would, recording pixel coordinates and self-healing when the UI shifts. Founded in 2025 by ex-Stripe and ex-Citadel engineers Nishant Hooda and Boris Skurikhin, Docket went through Y Combinator's Spring 2025 batch and covers web, mobile, and desktop apps.
Nine Fives
Nine Fives builds modern radio-frequency (RF) test equipment for manufacturers of wireless devices in cellphones, drones, and satellites. Founded by two former SpaceX engineers, the company replaces slow, driver-heavy legacy instruments with driverless, touchscreen, network-connected modules that share a single machine-readable API (REST and SCPI) and ship AI-readable documentation. The pitch: get RF test off the critical path and cut a hardware team's production-readiness timeline from months to minutes.
