Its first product, Dune, is a compact three-key context-aware keypad for Mac that dynamically adapts its button functions based on the active application. The company is backed by Redstart Labs, 360 ONE Asset, MIXI Global Investments, Antler, Blume Founders Fund, and notable angels including Kunal Shah and the Razorpay co-founders.
