Queen One, a brand technology platform that enhances websites and communication portals, has raised over $5.5 million in a friends and family funding round. The round was led by operator-backed funds including Charge VC, Inspired Capital, Red Swan Ventures, and Prospeq, along with a group of entrepreneurs and supporters.
Queen One believes that every product has a story, reflecting not just its creation but also how it’s used and shared. In a world where products are often reduced to data points, Queen One treats them as vibrant goods that connect with people.
Queen One has already built powerful brand technology and released its first offering, Connect (powered by Dragon Tiles), securing $6 million in state support for job creation and long-term economic impact in New York, and has scaled to a team of 33. Construction is underway on the Rise & Fly Vision Centre — a 30,000 sq. ft. Brooklyn headquarters designed to accelerate product development, brand growth, and cultural momentum.
KEY QUOTES:
