That’s why Dessn developed technology that allows startups to run their codebases in the cloud without any setup cost. To do so, it abstracts away the dependencies that make it necessary for a codebase to run locally. Because Dessn works in a production environment, it’s easier for designers to hand off their work to developers, the startup says.

Current customers include teams at health company Color, voice AI company Wispr, and fintech Mercury.

Founded by Gabriella Hachem and Nim Cheema, Dessn today announced its $6 million funding round was led by Connect Ventures, with participation from Betaworks and N49P.

“When we started the company two years ago, our whole thesis was [that] the code is going to get commoditized — and in a world where code is insanely cheap, you just get a lot more software, and then design becomes a way that’s a differentiator,” Cheema told TechCrunch over a call.
