About
Scuba provides a shared context engine that keeps a team's knowledge available to people and their agents. The Business Wire release and Upstarts place the company in New York. Noah Desai Weiss, formerly Slack's chief product officer, is CEO. Dolapo Falola, formerly head of engineering at The Browser Company, is co-founder.
The company announced $34 million over two rounds on 2026-10-13. Accel led the pre-seed. Accel and IVP co-led the seed, with BoxGroup, Conviction, Homebrew and Scribble Ventures. No source splits the $34 million between the rounds, so neither round page stores a dollar amount.
The company post and the Business Wire release describe the angels as founders of Slack, Instagram, Stripe, LinkedIn, Salesforce, Datadog, Vanta, Harvey, Dropbox, Abridge, Duolingo, Granola, Warp, Zynga, Groupon, Coda, Opendoor and Flatiron Health. They do not name those people. Upstarts names some of them, including Stewart Butterfield, Cal Henderson, Patrick Collison, Mike Krieger, Reid Hoffman, Jeff Weiner, Drew Houston, Parker Harris, Christina Cacioppo, Winston Weinberg and Shiv Rao. No angel page was added, because the issue and the company announcement do not name individuals. Upstarts also says Matt Wahl invested in the new round. He is not named in the issue, so he has no page.
