INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
I was honestly surprised to find out from Sensel that the company is only just recently raising its Series A
The Sunnyvale-based hardware startup has been around since 2013, bringing its first product, the modular music and computing Morph
peripheral, to market a few years back
As fascinating as the Morph has been, the multiple touch input device has proven to be something more akin to a proof of concept for Sensel
standalone hardware offering to smartphone and tablet components.The new $28 million Series A brings its total funding up to $38 million,
courtesy of Susquehanna International Group, Morningside Group, SMiT, Palm Commerce Holdings Co
Ltd, Chariot Gold Limited, SV Tech Ventures and Innolinks Ventures
A big part of this funding will no doubt be used to play a role in that shift, as Sensel works with OEMs to bring its advanced sensing
But working with OEMs to implement its technologies on third-party device is potentially a much more lucrative way forward
