Aura Frames: Funding, Investors & Team (Aug 2026)

Making it social and driven by an invite-only group of friends and family using the Aura app, Aura invented a new type of connected photo frame. Two early Twitter scientists who wanted to use their expertise in social networking to build a more private way for family members to share and communicate via images launched the startup. Aura provides a dynamic, dedicated location in the house to enjoy our most priceless stuff, whether it be images or art, as it is increasingly digital. It is easy to share from your phone, thoughtfully designed for the home, and has unlimited cloud storage. Our consumers adore Aura, gift frames to others, and ask their loved ones to share the millions of photographs that are added to the app each day.

About FundedIQ's Aura Frames Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Aura Frames is left off this page rather than filled in.
