Human, Inc., a Seattle, WA-based stealth mode audio startup “whose products seek to bridge the gap between people and technology“, raised $5m in seed funding.
The round was led by Fred Warren, former Co-Founder and Managing Director of Brentwood Associates, Kurt Beecher Dammeier, CEO of Sugar Mountain Capital, and Daniel Darling, Managing Director of Darling Ventures.
The company intends to use the funds to further expand its team of designers and engineers and continue development of its yet-to-be announced technology.
