About Board
Board is a Gaming startup based in New York, United States that has raised $35M in venture capital across 2 funding rounds since 2023. The company reached Series A stage in October 2025 with a $15M round led by Lerer Hippeau. Board's investor base includes 9 institutional funds, with Union Square Ventures leading the most recent equity round.
Board is the world's first face-to-face game console — a 24-inch touchscreen device in a wood-finish frame that uses proprietary PieceSense technology to recognize physical game pieces, blending the tactile feel of board games with the interactivity of video games. Founded in 2023 by Brynn Putnam, who previously sold Mirror (connected fitness) to Lululemon for $500M, Board is explicitly positioned as 'together tech' — designed to bring people into the same room rather than isolate them. The device retails at $500, ships with 12 original games, and has sold tens of thousands of units across all 50 US states since its October 2025 launch, with 85% of customers averaging 30+ play sessions per month.
