Who: Co-founders are Julien Quintard and Quentin Hocquet. Of note: Quintard previously founded Infinit which was acquired by Docker in 2018. Hocquet was CTO of Infinit.
Seed round: $2.7 million (pre-seed)
Investors: Y Combinator, BoxGroup (Superhuman, Trello, Sunrise, Airtable etc.), TargetGlobal (Cazoo, BlueApron, Delivery Hero, etc.), and business angels, including Matt Robinson (GoCardless & Nested), Clement Delangue (HuggingFace), and Ian Hogarth (Songkick).
Next: Routine is still in the development phase. The app is available to a limited number of users. The company, which has 8 employees, is looking to make some strategic hires will also continue to refine the product.
