Spline, a no-code design tool, has secured $15M in a seed funding round led by Gradient Ventures with participation from First Round Capital, NXTP, Chapter One, Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch, Y Combinator, Webflow CEO Vlad Magdalin, and Backend Capital.  The funds will primarily be used for R&D and team expansion, as the company aims to further develop its product and capabilities. Alejandro Leon, co-founder and CEO of Spline, introduced it in 2020, intending to simplify and streamline the 3D design process. Platform users can produce 3D objects, modify and animate them, work together on assets, and export them using a web browser. Since its debut, Spline has attracted over a million creators, and it recently expanded its toolkit by including AI-style transfer and AI texture capabilities. The business views AI as a crucial element in democratizing 3D creation and has ambitions to investigate generative AI and content creation with big language models.
