Design · 4 min read

SketchFlow, an early-stage startup focused on synchronous UX whiteboarding, announced a $12 million seed round led by Greylock Partners with strategic participation from Designer Fund and angel investors from major design studios. The company will use the capital to scale its engineering team and accelerate AI template development tailored for product design flows.

The startup launched a generative templates feature that converts a short design brief into a structured whiteboard containing flows, wireframes, and user-test prompts. Designers can iterate visually while the tool suggests layout variants, copy options, and accessibility annotations in real time.

SketchFlow’s CEO emphasized that the product is not meant to replace design tools but to speed up early-stage ideation and stakeholder alignment. The new funding will also support integrations with Figma, Notion, and popular UX research platforms to create a seamless handoff from whiteboard to prototype.

Early customers include in-house design teams at fintech and healthtech firms, who report a 30 to 40 percent reduction in kickoff time for discovery sprints. SketchFlow plans to offer a freemium tier for small teams and paid enterprise plans with compliance and single sign-on.
