Ranger raises $8.9M to find bugs faster

‍TL;DR: Ranger has raised $8.9M in total funding over two rounds led by General Catalyst and XYZ. They’re joined by Founder Collective, BoxGroup, 89 Christopher, Homebrew, HighSage, Roar Ventures, Nostalgia Capital, Wndrco and 30+ amazing angels.

Introducing Ranger

Today, we’re launching Ranger: the first and only AI product that writes, runs, and maintains QA tests that find real bugs. Our mission is to power testing for the world’s most ambitious engineering, product, and design teams so they can get back to building. 

Ranger is the last QA engineer you'll ever need. Call our bluff. Book a demo here.

Stop paying for incomplete solutions

The only guarantees in life are death and taxes. If you're building software, there are two more: bugs and an endless need for tests.

While QA firms and tools have been “doing QA” for years, they’re stuck in the past. We’ve spoken with 100s of founders, engineers, and PMs, and they all agree:

“We’ve lost deals due to bad QA.”
“We would buy pizzas to entice our senior ML engineers to do bug bashes.”
“My coworker just told me that they are in ‘QA Hell’.”

Whether we’re shipping tax credit software or drone delivery apps together, Megan, Adwith, Shane, Daniel and I have tried every testing solution and were disappointed with our choices. As a software team, you’re stuck with only bad options: hire an expensive (and slow) QA firm, purchase a QA tool that takes even more time to learn, or spend precious internal resources on testing. There hasn’t been a clear way to speed up the process and even AI can only take you so far.

Ranger is doing it differently

We’re building Ranger to change the status quo of QA.

At Ranger, we want to be your trusted guide on the path to sustainable QA testing. We take inspiration from our namesake: your trusty park ranger. We’ll put out fires, maintain trails (or in this case, tests) and create new ones as you build out your product.

When you work with Ranger, you get the best of both worlds: technology that’s already trusted by companies like OpenAI (see a preview of our research with them below) and Ranger QA specialists that inspect and enforce quality across your product.

Teams like Clay, Suno, and Dust fully delegate their QA pipelines to us so they don’t have to worry about managing the infrastructure. Instead, they can focus on shipping new features faster. With Ranger, our customers are:

• Freeing up 200+ dev hours a year (per engineer!) that would’ve been spent on testing
• Unlocking testing coverage that moves as fast as their teams
• Catching real bugs before their users do

Essentially, we do the dirty work of QA testing so you can forge ahead and enjoy the view. There’s a bug joke to be made here, but we won’t push it.

We're hiring — join us!

We are building for the long haul and we're thrilled to have years of runway to pursue our ambitious roadmap. Our team comes from companies like Google, Mercury, Waymo, and MainStreet and we’re ready to grow. Send any exceptional engineers (software and implementation) and AEs you know in our direction, we’d love to meet them. You can check out our open opportunities here.

Let’s fix the way software teams test their products. We’re embarking on an exciting journey and we hope you join us as Ranger leads the way.
