Belgian startup Holmes has launched with a €1.1 million pre-seed funding round led by Syndicate One, with participation from NewSchool, RDY.VC, 100IN, Aikido founders Roeland Delrue and Willem Delbare, Showpad co-founder Louis Jonckheere, and serial entrepreneur Thomas Van Overbeke.
Holmes is building an autonomous quality assurance platform designed for software teams working in the AI era. The company says its system learns how people use a product, continuously tests those flows, and operates within the tools development teams already use. It automates the writing, running, and maintenance of end-to-end tests across deployments, pull requests, and regressions.
The funding gives Holmes early backing as demand grows for tools that can reduce the manual burden of software testing while helping teams ship updates more reliably.
