💖 What makes Sanity unique
Sanity builds an AI-powered content operating system that lets teams model, create, and automate content the way their business actually runs, replacing rigid legacy content management systems. It treats content as data so it can live in a single source of truth while adapting to any channel, and companies including SKIMS, Figma, Riot Games, Anthropic, Nordstrom, Arc'teryx, and Morning Brew run their content operations on it. The 200+ person company recently raised an $85 million Series C led by GP Bullhound, with backing from ICONIQ Growth, Threshold Ventures, Heavybit, and Shopify.
