Knapsack picks up $10M to help bridge the gap between design and engineering teams | TechCrunch
"That's where Knapsack comes in. It's a collaboration platform specifically designed for enterprises that need to resolve misunderstandings between UI designers, product managers, and engineers. Knapsack creates a unified workspace that connects with tools like Figma and Git, ensuring that any design changes are automatically updated in the code and documentation. This approach makes sure that everything remains up to date, so branding stays consistent across all digital products."
"On Thursday, the company announced Thursday a $10 million Series A round, bringing the total raised to date to $20.8 million. Alongside the funding, Knapsack is introducing AI capabilities. This includes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, which is Anthropic's open source standard that isdesigned to enhance AI models' ability to generate more relevant responses to specific inquiries. The new addition, currently in limited beta, enables teams to create AI agents using models like ChatGPT and Gemini."
Companies often face misalignment between design and engineering because design specs live in Figma while engineers maintain code in Git, causing scattered information and inefficiency across brands and websites. Knapsack provides a unified collaboration platform that integrates with tools like Figma and Git to synchronize design changes with code and documentation, maintaining consistent branding and preventing implementation errors. Knapsack documents component specifics such as button sizing to avoid mistakes. The company raised $10 million in Series A funding, bringing total financing to $20.8 million. New AI features include an MCP server and a limited-beta system for branded AI agents, and an ingestion engine is planned to build a central system of record.
