Particle’s mission is to make it easier for users to keep up with news using AI, providing quick, bulleted summaries of stories with information pulled from a variety of sources. The AI-powered platform aims to transform the way people interact with news, offering a more comprehensive understanding of current events in less time.
Particle has raised $4.4 million in seed funding from Kindred Ventures, Adverb Ventures, and various angel investors, including Twitter and Medium co-founder Ev Williams and Behance founder Scott Belsky. This industry backing provides Particle with the resources and expertise needed to execute its mission of transforming news consumption.
Particle is committed to fairly compensating authors and publishers, ensuring a more equitable distribution of revenue in the digital domain. This approach sets Particle apart from industry stalwarts, as it aims to address the concerns about the impact of AI on the rapidly shrinking news ecosystem.
