Noon, an AI-native product design platform, has emerged from stealth mode with USD 44 million in funding, marking one of the largest early-stage rounds in the design-technology space.
The round includes backing from Chemistry and First Round Capital, with participation from Scribble Ventures, Elevation Capital, and Afore Capital, along with several prominent design and technology leaders.
Headquartered in San Francisco with a presence in Bengaluru, Noon was founded in 2024 by Aditya Bandi and Kushagra Sinha, both second-time entrepreneurs with prior exits. Bandi previously built a company acquired by Yahoo, while Sinha’s earlier venture was acquired by Whatfix. The startup’s team includes engineers and operators from firms such as Google, Slack, Uber, PhonePe, and Vercel.
The startup aims to transform how digital products are designed by replacing static mockups with working product interfaces built using real code. “For decades, product design has borrowed the tools of graphic design. Static, visual, flat. But products aren’t posters,” said Aditya Bandi, co-CEO of Noon. “We built Noon because we believe the thing you design should be the thing that ships.”
Noon’s platform enables designers and engineers to collaborate on the same interface, using components directly from a company’s codebase. This eliminates the traditional handoff between design and development, reducing errors and improving efficiency.
“This is the moment that matters,” said Kushagra Sinha, co-CEO of Noon. “AI is changing everything about how software gets built, and if design doesn’t evolve alongside it, we’ll end up with products that work but don’t feel like anything.”
The funding round also saw participation from senior leaders at companies including Stripe, OpenAI, Microsoft AI, Apple, Meta, Shopify, and Perplexity, reflecting strong industry interest in the platform.
Noon plans to open access to design teams in the coming weeks. The company said its goal is to combine speed and creativity, ensuring that product design remains both functional and high-quality in an AI-driven development landscape.
