Board, founded by Mirror creator Brynn Putnam, raises $20M with tens of thousands of devices sold

Board, the New York-based startup behind a 24-inch touchscreen game device that fuses physical pieces with video-game interactivity, closed a $20 million Series A round on June 2, 2026, led by Union Square Ventures. The company’s “together tech” device has already reached tens of thousands of homes, schools, hospitals and restaurants across all 50 U.S. states. Founder Brynn Putnam previously sold connected-fitness company Mirror to Lululemon for $500 million. USV General Partner Michael Mignano, in his first investment since joining the firm, will join Board’s board. Additional investors include Biz Stone, Tim Ferriss and Scott Belsky. The company said 85% of users average 30 or more play sessions each month. Board also announced Board Studio, an AI-powered creation platform that it says will let users build original games from natural-language prompts in under an hour, launching later in 2026. The startup previously raised $15 million from Lerer Hippeau, which also led Mirror’s seed round.
