Minitap Raises $4.1M To Speed Up Mobile Development With AI

It also attracted AI infrastructure experts, including Thomas Wolf, Stefan Glanzer, Michael Breidenbrucker, Paul Muller, Petter Made, Daniel Krauss, Jochen Engert, André Schwämmlein, and Saturnin Pugnet, alongside operators from OpenAI, DeepMind, LangChain, and LlamaIndex.

Founded in 2025, Minitap addresses the persistent gap between web and mobile development. While AI tools have accelerated web development, mobile remains slower due to device testing complexities, iteration handling and cross-configuration verification. Minitap enables engineering teams to develop mobile features significantly faster reducing the typical six-week cycle.

The platform combines two core components: Mobile-Use, an open-source AI agent framework that allows AI to operate phones in a human-like manner, and Minitap Cloud, which provisions thousands of iOS or Android devices in parallel. Connected to AI coding environments, these tools let AI write code, test on real devices, detect and fix issues, and deploy fully functional features with minimal human intervention.

Co-founder and CEO Nicolas Dehandschoewercker highlights that mobile accounts for roughly 60% of internet usage, yet development lags far behind web experimentation. Minitap aims to empower consumer app companies, including Duolingo, Calm, and Hinge, to ship features faster and enable non-technical teams to build mobile functionalities without relying heavily on engineering resources.

Every consumer mobile company needs to experiment faster. The companies that run 10x more experiments will win their markets. We’re building the infrastructure that makes that speed possible, said Minitap's co-founder Luc Mahoux-Nakamura.

Minitap empowers growth teams to release mobile features without engineering support: a product manager provides a feature description and Figma design, and AI generates the code, tests it, and deploys an A/B test in hours. Eventually, Minitap aims for fully autonomous apps that experiment, analyze, and iterate independently.
