EchoCanvas announced a $22 million Series A led by Greylock with support from cultural design investors and existing angels. The round coincides with the debut of LiveCanvas, an interactive collaboration surface that combines vector editing, version history, and live cursors with low-latency media embedding.

LiveCanvas emphasizes design workflows: pixel-perfect export, built-in component libraries, and integration with Figma and Adobe Cloud. EchoCanvas says LiveCanvas addresses common pain points like conflicting edits, bloated file sizes, and the friction of moving assets between tools.

The funding will be used to bolster real-time infrastructure, expand integrations, and scale customer success for enterprise clients in advertising and product design. EchoCanvas also announced an SDK for plugin developers to build automation and testing features for design systems.

Design leaders say EchoCanvas’s push reflects renewed demand for synchronous tools that mimic physical studio sessions. The company positions LiveCanvas as a complement to existing UX tooling rather than a replacement, betting on interoperability to win adoption.
