Dessn raises $6M for production-focused design tool

Dessn, a design startup founded by Gabriella Hachem and Nim Cheema, has raised $6 million in a funding round led by Connect Ventures. The company offers a design tool that allows teams to work directly on their codebases in the cloud, simplifying the design-to-development handoff process. Dessn's technology abstracts away dependencies, enabling codebases to run without local setup costs. The tool is particularly useful for teams with existing codebases looking to iterate efficiently. Current clients include Color, Wispr, and Mercury.
