Docket

Executive Summary

Docket is a YC X25-backed seed-stage startup building a vision-first QA automation platform that replaces brittle DOM selectors with coordinate-based testing — a genuine technical differentiator, especially for canvas, iframe, and non-standard UI elements that Playwright and Selenium simply cannot handle well. The market is real and growing fast (AI test automation at $8.8B in 2025, 22.3% CAGR), and the founding team has exceptional operator pedigree from Stripe, Brex, Citadel, and Patreon. The single biggest problem: traction claims are largely unverifiable, and the named customer logos (Amazon, Airbnb, Perplexity) cannot be independently confirmed for a 2-10 person, $500K pre-seed company — those logos need direct verification before any investment decision. The competitive environment is brutal, with well-funded rivals like Momentic ($18.7M), QA Wolf ($58M), and Testsigma ($108M) all targeting the same engineering teams.
