Most companies still struggle with scattered data, using spreadsheets to track design systems, specs, and guidelines. While designers rely on tools like Figma, engineers operate in Git-based environments — leading to fragmented communication and wasted time.
For large organizations managing multiple brands and digital experiences, this gap only widens. Misalignment can easily derail projects and harm brand consistency.
A Unified Platform For Design And Engineering Teams
Knapsack is stepping in to fix this disconnect. The platform offers a unified collaboration hub built for enterprises that need seamless coordination between UI designers, product managers, and engineering teams.
By integrating with Figma and Git, Knapsack ensures that design updates, assets, and code changes are automatically synced and displayed in one centralized place. This eliminates confusion and keeps teams aligned throughout the product lifecycle.
For instance, if a button’s standard size is 60 pixels, Knapsack documents that rule — ensuring consistent application across all products and avoiding design mismatches.
AI-Powered Collaboration Tools
In its latest move, Knapsack picks up $10M to help bridge the gap between design and engineering teams while introducing cutting-edge AI capabilities. The company’s new MCP (Model Context Protocol) server — based on Anthropic’s open standard — helps automate context sharing across tools, further tightening the loop between design and development.
The platform’s AI-driven features assist teams in maintaining real-time design documentation and identifying inconsistencies automatically, helping enterprises scale faster without sacrificing design quality.
$10 Million Series A To Drive Growth
On Thursday, Knapsack announced a $10 million Series A funding round, bringing its total funding to $20.8 million to date. The fresh capital will support the company’s mission to modernize enterprise product collaboration, expand AI capabilities, and strengthen integrations with industry-leading tools.
Why Knapsack’s Approach Matters
By tackling one of the most persistent pain points in product development, Knapsack is reshaping how teams think about collaboration. Instead of siloed processes and miscommunication, it offers a shared, living design system that connects creative vision with technical execution.
As digital products become more complex, tools like Knapsack — bridging the gap between design and engineering — are becoming essential for enterprise efficiency and brand consistency.
