We have raised <strong>$1.8 million in seed funding</strong> led by <a href=\"https://viewpoints.matrixpartners.com/investing-in-featurepeek-3ea07b3bb406\">Matrix Partners</a> and a select group of Angel investors. We are thrilled with this partnership, and are thankful to have the support of these fantastic investors as FeaturePeek helps provide the missing link in the frontend review process.</p>\n<p>We started FeaturePeek in 2019 to solve a real-world problem that we felt while collaborating with product and design teams: <strong>scrambling at the last minute to integrate last-minute feedback</strong> into releases. By developing FeaturePeek and talking with our users, we know that teams need seamless tools earlier in the dev cycle to give effective feedback on frontend implementations. Unblocking stakeholders and shortening this feedback loop allows product, design, and engineering to save time and ship higher quality releases.</p>\n<p>FeaturePeek creates <strong>supercharged deployment previews</strong> of your web frontend that you can share to quickly get feedback on your implementation in progress. <strong>A drawer overlay is added on top of your site</strong> that makes it easy for your reviewers to take screenshots with annotations, capture screen recordings, leave comments, create tickets on popular bug-tracking platforms, and more. <strong>You get this functionality just by deploying to FeaturePeek</strong> — no dependencies or code changes are needed.</p>\n<p>Along with our funding, <strong>we are announcing a new product</strong> that we can’t wait for you to use.</p>\n<h1 id=\"-featurepeek-indie-\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#-featurepeek-indie-\" aria-label=\" featurepeek indie  permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>👩‍💻 FeaturePeek Indie 👨‍💻</h1>\n<p>We are excited to launch a new entry-level product, <a href=\"/product/indie\">FeaturePeek Indie</a>.
