(November 6, 2024)\u00a0 <\/strong>What began as a class project has grown into a startup for recent Yale engineering graduates Sneha Sivakumar and Anushka Nijhawan. During their senior year, the two developed an AI-powered no-code automation tool designed to simplify and speed up the process of testing web applications without manual coding.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their innovative solution enables companies with web-based applications to verify functionality seamlessly, a concept that quickly gained recognition. Supported early on by a $500 grant from Yale\u2019s Tsai CITY Student Exploration Fund and recently accepted into Y Combinator\u2019s elite accelerator program with $500,000 in funding, the duo took their idea to the next level.<\/span><\/p>\n

This May, shortly after graduating with degrees in Computer Science, Sneha and Anushka officially launched their startup, Spur, building on the foundation of their college project. \u201cA lot of companies spend a lot of time writing tests for their web applications, and our entire company is about automating that process and making it really easy,\u201d Sivakumar explained in a recent interview.<\/span><\/p>\n
