Scuba, a New York-based startup building an AI-powered context and memory platform, has raised $34 million across two funding rounds to help teams and AI agents share information more effectively.
The funding includes a pre-seed round led by Accel and a seed round co-led by Accel and IVP. Other participating investors include BoxGroup, Conviction, Homebrew, and Scribble Ventures.
Scuba also received support from angel investors who founded or helped build major technology companies, including Slack, Instagram, Stripe, LinkedIn, Salesforce, Datadog, Dropbox, Duolingo, and other businesses.
Founded by CEO Noah Desai Weiss and CTO Dolapo Falola, Scuba aims to solve a growing problem for businesses adopting AI: AI tools often lack the context they need to understand a company’s work, decisions, and priorities.
The companys platform works like a shared memory, for teams and their AI helpers. It gathers data from web browsers, software programs, talks and other places then sorts it so people can easily find information without having to look through many different tools.
Scuba’s platform includes Capture, which allows users to save work-related information through a browser extension and an iPhone app. Users can collect articles, AI chatbot responses, internal conversations, screenshots, videos, and audio notes. Audio notes can be up to 90 minutes long and are transcribed for easier access.
The platform keeps saved information in topic-based repositories called Collections. For example a marketing team can use a Collection to bring campaign research, customer feedback and internal discussions. Scuba also creates summaries called Briefing and Briefing highlight important updates, changes and emerging trends.
Another key feature lets teams share information from their Collections with AI tools via a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This key feature connects the platform with tools such, as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Slack. It means that AI agents can find the information without employees having to search for files or copy details into prompts again.
Scuba was founded by Weiss, previously Slack’s chief product officer, and Falola, who led engineering at The Browser Company. The two founders also worked together at Google.
The company plans to use the $34 million in funding to expand its product, hire more employees, and strengthen its go-to-market efforts.
As businesses increasingly use AI agents for everyday tasks, Scuba is betting that shared context and reliable access to company knowledge will become essential to making those tools more useful and effective.
