One of Africa’s most successful founders is back with a new AI startup and already raised $9M

In 2023 co-founders Karim Jouini and Jihed othmani The cost management has sold the beginning Is one of the largest purchases of African start. Some sources say The amount was only more than $ 120 millionAlthough the transaction conditions are not disclosed.

Successful success, the success of both founders, the entrepreneurship has not intended to make another start, and Jouini was a CTO role in a combined program company with the others Receipts covering three continents.

However, the withdrawal of a new technological wave – a generative EU – and the thought of them could build something bigger with them drew them back.

The two are already united Thunder codeA generative EU-powered software test platform, which provides 9 million dollar seed funding, said TechCrunch.

“Expension was very crazy because we are not doing another company because it is very heavy,” said Jouini Techcrunch. “But when people are two children, they forget how difficult the first time is less than six months and we are super tight, but we believe this is a unicorn material.”

Jouini, Medius’da to the head of the technology, rejected a spark that was kidnapped after the years. When he bragged the integration of six companies in three continents, the Sener AI saw how the software industry could change. The test, regardless of the product, was a universal problem with a realization that tissue the idea for Thunder code.

Thunder code, slow, hand tested with AI-powered “agents” that imitate human testers. These agents simulate QA processes, graze fine UI and UX issues and learn from the opinion.

Expension’s early mistakes prevent Jouini prioritized speed. “We sent the first MVP in six weeks, and now the product is more than six months more than six months in the fourth. This reflects a wide belief in the starting soil where fast reviews are followed by the perfect plans.

Thunder code already wins more traction by paying customers and pilot programs in the United States, Canada, France and Tunisia. The company’s delivery manager, QA stores and developer teams are tested and shipped ship-faster ship. The current focus is a website application test that has plans to expand the mobile, desktop and API test by the end of 2025.

In addition to speed, Jouini’s second rodeo also focuses on the main features, as soon as possible, and the best talent in the shortest time, the Expensa also applies other tough lessons. It is unapologetic regarding early dilution, due to investing in the best talent. “Many African entrepreneurs are afraid to dilute their capital, because they want to keep 100%, because we want to keep ourselves, it is a good value,” he said.

Jouini, the EU, the value of the Thunder code is less than the value of the lesser, the less population will be allowed to the conclusion that the EU-power transition teams.

Nevertheless, Jouini was a leap in spite of the process of driving from the cost management, despite the feelings of pain. Still sees the software test as a larger, more complex market Preded to exceed $ 100 billion by 2027It is still dominated by inherit code-based platforms such as Tricentis and Browservertan, where it may be slow. He believes the Thunder code faster with the AI, and it gives an edge against similar new agent products.

The headquarters with an office in Tunisia in Paris, the headquarters joined the crowded start market, and trying to be the same with all the startup markets Upath to beginners like Regain, New.

This helps co-founder Othmani, generative AI, ChatGpt’s ChatGpt builds a deep expert on the generative AI, establishing domestic AI tools a few years ago. Their complementary skills and the Thunder code to move the market share of $ 9 million, fast and seized in six months.

In the financing phase, including Silicon Badia and Jaango Capital, including Silicon Badia and Jaango Capital, Strategic Angels (F) and Karim Beguir, including Roxanne Varza, General Director General of InstaPeep The largest AI beginning in Africa. Past and present expension employees Who Charged in the Term There is also an investment. “Some of our investors are in fact employees are effective and I’m glad to work in this way,” Jouini said.
