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

In 2023, co-founder Karim And Jihad Their Expenditure Management has sold the Swedish Procurement Software Firm Medius in Startup Expenses One of the largest acquisitions of African startupThe Some say formulas The sum was just over $ 120 millionAlthough the terms of the agreement were not published.

Achieved success, both founders were sworn in, and never intended to do any more startups, and Juiei played CTO’s role in the united software company, with others Acknowledgment of three continentsThe

But the pull of a new technical wave – the generator AI – and the thoughts that they could be able to create something bigger with them have drawn them again.

The two are now co-founded Thunder -codeA generator AI-powered software testing platform, which has already secured $ 9 million for the Seed Fund, has informed TechCrunch.

“It’s pretty crazy because we promised not to make any other company because expansia was very difficult,” Juine told TechCrunch. “But I think it is when people have two kids when they first forget how hard they were at first. This new initiative is less than six months old and already extremely intense, but we have been dismissed We are sure that this is a unicorn material.”

Jeweni says his transformation between the head of technology in Medius re -arranged a spark that was missed a few years later as a Frontman. While he was supervising the integration of six companies across the three continents, he first saw how the generator could re -shape the AI ​​software industry. Testing was a universal problem, regardless of product, a perception that created the idea for the Thunder code.

The Thunder code is slow, manual testing with the AI-powered “Agent” that imitates human examiners. These agents mimic the QA processes, learn from subtle UI and UX problems and learn from feedback.

Defined to avoid the initial missit of expansion, the priority speed of the Zuyie. “We have sent our first MVP in six weeks, and now the product is much more tough than four years in expansion,” he said. It reflects a much considered belief in Startup Land that trumps the perfect plans for quick response.

Thunder code is already gaining traction by providing customers and pilot programs across the United States, Canada, France and Tunisia. The company partnerships with the Delivery Manager, QA Shop and Developing teams and are eager to ship quickly. Its current focus is to extend the web application testing, expanding the mobile, desktop and API exams at the end of 2025.

In addition to the speed, the second loan of the Zioni is applied to other rigid earned lessons from the expansion, such as focusing on the original features and getting the best talent as soon as possible. He is related to investment in initial talent because it is unforgettable about the initial decrease. “Many African entrepreneurs are afraid to reduce capital because they want to keep 100%.

Juiney, however, believes that AI Thunder will allow the code to generate 10 times more than 10 times more than people, echoing in the shift of Liner AI-driven parties.

Nevertheless, Juinei admits that the painting of the software developed tools from the cost of spending was a jump despite the fact that the points of the jumping were known. Nevertheless, he sees software testing as a bigger, more complex market, Has been estimated to exceed $ 100 billion by 2027Still dominated by legacy code-based platforms such as trisentis and browsstack, it can be slow to adapt. He believes that the rapid performance of Thunder code with AI gives it an edge against the same type of new agent products.

It helps that its co-founder Othony generator brings deep skills to AI, creating internal AI equipment in expansion before creating the chatzPT wave. Their complementary skills and six -month positions raised to the Thunder code to transfer $ 9 million quickly and capture the market shares, Juinei said.
