Specify: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)
Specify was founded in Paris (France) in 2018 by Valentin Chrétien, Pierre-Antoine Lemaître, Antoine Moreaux and Louis Chenais. Formerly designers, product managers and developers, these 4 co-founders decided to create Specify in order to revolutionize the way to maintain a brand's identity through different digital products. After 2 years of bootstrapping, and more than 1,000 international teams onboarded, Specify raises a $1m pre-seed with 360 Capital, BPI Seed Ventures and Seedcamp. A few months later, Specify positions itself as the category leader for DesignOps and Design Systems by being the first Design Data Platform. In parallel, Specify is a member of the DTCG (Design Tokens Community Group) whose goal is to provide standards upon which products and design tools can rely for sharing stylistic pieces of a design system at scale.
Specify has raised $4.5M across 1 funding round on record, the most recent a Seed of $4.5M announced in Feb 2022.
That round is above the $3.8M median round size for Design companies tracked on FundedIQ over the last two years.

About FundedIQ's Specify 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 Specify is left off this page rather than filled in.
