Why it matters
Instabug began at Cairo University with a shake-to-report-a-bug feature and became a Y Combinator company with dual headquarters in Cairo and San Francisco. By 2022 its tools ran on about 2.7 billion devices for clients including DoorDash, Verizon and Porsche. In 2025 it rebranded as Luciq to focus on AI agents for mobile observability.
