The seed round was led by Kindred Capital with participation from Point Nine Capital and Forward Partners.
"For years, product designers and engineers across myriad industries have been confined to technologies that aren't fit for purpose to create and develop products for the physical world, with lengthy iterative processes causing protracted product development cycles, unnecessary costs, and a host of design frustrations. Gravity Sketch gives design and engineering teams across the globe a way to create, collaborate, and communicate together in the same virtual space, and in real-time. Today's investment will help us make our technology as accessible and inclusive as possible."
