Product Journeys: Stark

Stark, a New York-based startup that lets designers others building with design software run their files through an integrated tool that checks it and provides color edits and other suggestions to help them meet guidelines for people who see less well, has picked up $1.5 million. Stark plans to use the funding to continue building integrations into commonly-used design apps and create integrations for developers (where it will read and provide guidance on code: next up is a Github integration), and continue building out its business with expanded pricing and usage tiers. Led by Cat Noone, who raised with no in-person meetings in the midst of a global pandemic and economic crisis, Stark is position to take over the compliance and accessibility market through a bottoms up, community first approach.
