HeadSpin provides an omnichannel digital experience testing platform that enables manual and automated app testing across a wide range of devices, including screen and screenless devices such as mobile phones, desktop browsers, media players, audio devices, and automotive systems. Its infrastructure offers real devices across 90+ locations. The platform collects more than 100 key performance indicators (e.g., launches, application usage duration, downloads, user retention, active users, impact time) to help customers diagnose performance issues. Customers cited in the article include T-Mobile, Flipkart, Globo, and Nedbank. HeadSpin plans to add DevOps tools to its platform and further invest in synthetic observability so customers can simulate user interactions and identify problems before they impact end users. The company is led by CEO Rajeev Butani and will focus on site reliability engineering (SRE) and DevOps to provide deep performance analysis and monitoring data to SRE and DevOps teams. HeadSpin builds the world’s first Connected Intelligence Platform to unify testing, monitoring and analytics across applications, devices and networks, enabling teams to optimize connected experiences across web, mobile, IoT and 5G. Its platform is used by development, QA, operations and product teams to improve functionality and performance throughout the development lifecycle. The company plans to use new funding to develop additional product offerings, expand into new market segments, and deepen its position within cloud ecosystems. Since launching in 2015 HeadSpin has doubled annual revenue year-over-year and serves over 1,000 enterprise customers and telco operators. Recent customers named include Microsoft, TikTok, Uber, Walmart and others, and HeadSpin has opened regional offices in London, Tel Aviv, Berlin and Cape Town. HeadSpin is headquartered in Palo Alto. HeadSpin offers an AI-enabled platform that lets developers test and monitor mobile apps in real time and on real devices, surfacing high-priority issues so teams can resolve customer problems at scale. The product lets developers experience their app as a regular user would and is used pre-release, during release and post-release. HeadSpin works with Tinder, DocuSign and roughly 200 other app providers. The company emerged from stealth last year and has rapidly scaled under co-founders Manish Lachwani and Brien Colwell, with Sriram Krishnan as head of product. HeadSpin is Palo Alto-based and was founded in 2015. It says it expects to double revenue in 2018 but did not disclose specific financial metrics.
