About
Board is a New York-based connected-screen gaming startup founded in 2023 by Brynn Putnam (founder of Mirror, sold to Lululemon for $500M); the flagship product is a 24-inch wood-finished touchscreen that uses proprietary technology to recognize physical game pieces, combining the tactile feel of board games with the interactivity of video games 123. Board devices are deployed in tens of thousands of homes, schools, hospitals, and restaurants across all 50 states, with 85% of customers averaging 30+ play sessions per month 12. The $20M Series A announced June 2, 2026 was led by Union Square Ventures — representing the first investment from General Partner Michael Mignano since he joined USV (Mignano joining Board’s board) — with angel participation from Biz Stone, Tim Ferriss, and Scott Belsky 123.
