TECH CRUNCH - Feb 11 - Quilt, an audio social network that focuses on wellness and community, has raised a $3.5M seed round led by Mayfield Fund, with partner Rishi Garg joining the board. Quilt started as a community platform founded by Ashley Sumner. Sumner was on the founding team at NeueHouse and has spent her career building community through physical space. Quilt allows anyone to start a room for a conversation, dropping a line or two of text to describe what they want to talk about. The app is focused on wellness, breaking rooms into three different categories: spiritual and personal development, career and purpose, and relationships, sex, and family. Sumner says that Quilt will never generate revenue through advertising, but rather employ a freemium model.
