Pretty much for as long as there has been software, there have also been software bugs.
Traditionally, finding and fixing those errors has frequently been a painstaking process, particularly when coders first hear about them from their users.
The folks behind Zipy Inc. are trying make life a little easier for bug squashers. The San Francisco company's software is designed to streamline the debugging process. It can help programmers identify exactly what went wrong and precisely which part of their code they need to correct. It can also help them prioritize which bugs to fix first.
Vishalini Paliwal, a former engineer at Motorola Solutions Inc., founded Zipy in 2020. Paliwal, who serves as the company's CEO, had previously co-founded a pair of Indian startups, according to her LinkedIn page and was the senior director of product management at MindTickle Inc.
Zipy's service has drawn the attention of venture investors. The startup announced last week it's raised $2.8 million in funding.
Check out the details on Zipy's deal and other seed rounds from this past week:
