About StartupQA
We're a new QA consultancy designed specifically for growing SaaS startups
Why We Exist
Most startups can't afford $120K+ for a senior QA engineer, but they also can't afford to ship bugs that erode customer trust or block funding rounds.
We built StartupQA to solve this: U.S.-based QA leadership paired with skilled offshore execution. You get the strategy, accountability, and communication you need, at a price that makes sense for early-stage companies.
Where We Are Today
StartupQA is pre-revenue and preparing to launch at SaaStr in May 2025. We don't have case studies or client logos yet—we're being upfront about that.
What we do have is a clear model: a U.S.-based QA professional who serves as your point of contact and owns the results, supported by vetted QA engineers in Egypt who handle the execution work.
This approach isn't new—distributed QA teams are common in larger companies. We're making it accessible and structured for startups who need quality testing without the overhead of full-time U.S. hires.
If you're considering working with us, you'd be among our first clients. That comes with risk, which is why we're offering flexible terms and no long-term contracts. We only succeed if you get value.
Our Principles
How we approach our work
Clear Communication
No jargon, no surprises. You always know what we're testing, what we found, and what's next.
Fair Pricing
U.S. QA costs are prohibitive for early-stage startups. We make quality QA accessible.
Low-Risk Start
No long contracts. If it's not working, you can pause or stop with 2 weeks notice.
Built for Scale
Start with part-time QA, scale to a full team as you grow. We adapt to your needs.
Who You'll Work With
Your U.S.-Based QA Lead
