Founded 2019 per the company's own About page and Battery Ventures' release, not 2018. The June 2025 Battery Ventures transaction was executed at a premium to the Series B valuation with existing investors retaining a large majority; no amount was disclosed, so the blank amount is correct. Marcus Ryu joined as board observer.
