ProductNow is a Palo Alto AI-native platform that closes the gap between AI-generated prototypes and engineering-ready specifications. Founded in 2025 by two-decade product veteran Tript Singh Lamba, it snapshots prototypes from tools like Claude, Lovable, and Figma, collects ranked customer feedback within hours, and hands engineering a single source of truth of validated context, decisions, and requirements. The company raised a $6M seed round led by Sierra Ventures in July 2025.
