Sekai, a San Francisco-based startup aiming to redefine software as a new media, has secured $26.0M in Series A funding. The company, which describes itself as the first AI-native social platform pioneering "Personalized Software," is building an ecosystem for generative interactivity where users can create, play, and remix UGC apps as easily as posting a short-form video.
