Noon Raises $44 Mn To Reinvent Product Design

San Francisco-based product design startup Noon has raised $44 Mn (about ₹407.6 Cr) in a funding round led by Chemistry, First Round Capital, Scribble Ventures, Elevation Capital and Afore Capital. The round also saw participation from angel investors associated with companies like Meta, Canva, Apple, and OpenAI. 

Founded in 2024 by ex-Bookpad CEO Aditya Bandi and ex-Leap cofounder Kushagra Sinha, Noon is an AI-native product design platform that allows users to build functional products using real code instead of static design files. The startup was operating in stealth mode till now. 

It creates designs directly from a user’s codebase, allowing teams to develop interactive prototypes that can move and respond, while reducing friction between designers and engineers.

Noon is currently operating in early access and plans to open the platform to design teams in the coming weeks.

Both founders are second-time entrepreneurs with successful exits. Bandi previously cofounded Bookpad, a cloud-based document technology startup that was acquired by Yahoo in 2014 for over $15 Mn.

On the other hand, Sinha cofounded Jiny, later rebranded as Leap, a mobile-first guidance platform that was acquired by Whatfix in 2021.

The Noon team comprises engineers and operators from companies such as Google, Ramp, Vercel, Slack, Uber, PhonePe, Grab, Groww, and Replit.
