We're thrilled to share that Ben Franklin Technology Partners has joined KissUX as an early-stage investor. Their support accelerates our engineering hires, deepens our accessibility research, and unlocks the next cohort of organization pilots through 2026.
Why BFTP
Ben Franklin Technology Partners has supported more than 4,000 Pennsylvania-based technology companies over four decades. What set this conversation apart for us was their focus on rigorous customer discovery and their genuine engagement with the digital-equity mission.
This is not capital that comes with a "ship faster" mandate. It comes with thoughtful introductions, an experienced board observer, and a long view of company-building that matches how we want to operate.
What this funds
- Two senior engineering hires focused on real-time multimodal AI.
- A dedicated accessibility research lead, partnering closely with NDEC and our health-system pilots.
- The infrastructure to run six concurrent organization pilots in 2026.
"KissUX is solving a problem the market has tried to ignore for two decades. We're proud to back them." — Stephen Brawley, BFTP
Hiring
If you're a senior engineer who cares about building software that genuinely helps people, we'd love to talk. We are a small, deliberate team and we hire slowly. Reach us through the partnership form or directly through our LinkedIn.
Onward — and many thanks to the BFTP team for the partnership.
