Valtive

We're an embedded QA team for startups and small product teams. We test your product like an in-house hire would - same people, full-time, in your timezone - for a fraction of the cost of building QA yourself. WHY TEAMS BRING US IN A full-time QA hire costs $70,000+ a year, plus recruiting, onboarding, and management. Asking your developers to test their own code costs even more - it's the wrong use of their time, and they still miss things. And the cheap option, a $10/hour solo tester, usually means poor communication, no domain knowledge, and bugs that reach your users anyway. We sit in between. You get senior-led testing, people who learn your product and stay, and clear daily communication - at a price that still beats an in-house hire. SENIOR-LED, NOT SENIOR-PRICED Every engagement is run by a senior QA architect who sets the strategy and reviews the work, while our team delivers the testing. You get senior judgment on your product without paying senior rates for every hour. WHAT WE DO - Manual and exploratory testing - Test automation (Playwright, Cypress, WebdriverIO, Selenium) - API and contract testing - AI/LLM product testing - output evaluation, prompt-injection, and data-leak checks: the testing most QA teams can't do - Performance and load testing - Web and mobile (iOS/Android), cross-browser DOMAINS WE KNOW Fintech and payments, healthcare (HIPAA), marketplaces, and AI products. We've built QA from scratch for a payments platform (SEPA/SWIFT/FX), tested clinical software under HIPAA, and kept a global marketplace shipping twice a week with 90% automated coverage. HOW WE WORK We embed in your team - your standups, your Slack, your release cycle. We can start small so you can test the fit, then grow into full-time seats. The goal is simple: you ship faster, with fewer bugs in production, while your developers get back to building. Tell us what you're shipping, and we'll tell you exactly how we'd cover it.
