Raised a $4.6 million seed round led by Utah firm Kickstart in February 2021, with former Flipagram executives Brian Dilley and Farhad Mohit and former Skullcandy chief executive Jeremy Andrus among those taking part, TechCrunch reported. Its founder said the company had been bootstrapped and self-funded until then.
