Startup Signull Labs raises $3.58 million in pre-seed funding, attracting interest from investors and tens of thousands of users.
Signull Labs’ Skye app is still in private testing but has already attracted significant interest online and from investors. The startup has raised north of $3.58 million in pre-seed funding, with Pitchbook listing a post-money valuation of $19.5 million.
Skye’s unique approach to AI on the iPhone involves using iOS widgets as its interface, providing users with personalized insights about their local weather, health, and more. The app can also perform tasks such as drafting email replies, helping with meeting prep, sending reminders, and flagging suspicious charges…
The data for these features would be pulled in through authorized connections granted by the user. This means that users have control over what information is shared with Skye, making the app a more secure option compared to traditional AI chatbots or apps.
Signull Labs’ founder, Nirav Savjani, has experience working at Google and Meta. He claims that tens of thousands of users have added themselves to the waitlist for Skye, suggesting strong consumer interest in a more AI-aware iPhone.
