  • ProductNow Raises $6M to Launch the AI-Native Stack for Product Teams

    ProductNow Raises $6M to Launch the AI-Native Stack for Product Teams

    The agentic platform unifies fragmented product workflows, turning business intent into coordinated execution at enterprise scale

    PALO ALTO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 15, 2025 / ProductNow, the first AI-native operating system for product teams, today announced a $6 million seed round led by Sierra Ventures, with participation from Parameter Ventures and senior operators from leading cloud, consumer, and AI companies.

    Tript Singh Lamba is the Founder & CEO of ProductNow, an AI-native platform redefining how product teams work. Over two decades, he built flagship platforms at Microsoft, Google, and Expedia-helping launch Bing, the early core of Microsoft Messenger and Azure, and co-founding Google’s Ads AI personalization team. He also led YouTube Ads through hypergrowth and drove an AI-first transformation of Expedia’s consumer product. ProductNow is the culmination of these experiences, a category-defining system for the autonomous product teams of the future.

    Modern product orgs don’t struggle to ship code, they struggle to turn business strategy into coordinated execution. While AI has transformed engineering, product workflows remain stuck in docs, decks, and meetings. More than 3 million product, program, and strategy leaders influence over $1 trillion in software spend-yet they’re still waiting for their Copilot moment.

    It’s the highest-leverage, least-augmented function in tech: one of the most powerful, yet underserved, layers in the enterprise. ProductNow unifies this chaos into a single AI-native system that helps teams move from idea to impact quickly, aligned, and at scale.

    “With AI accelerating engineering, the real bottleneck is no longer code…it’s turning strategy into execution and results,” said Tript Singh Lamba, Founder & CEO of ProductNow. “We’re building a system of leverage that augments teams across product, program, and beyond–amplifying judgment, reducing overhead, and bringing the kind of AI advantage developers have to the rest of the org.”

    AI-accelerated code. ProductNow accelerates everything around it.

    ProductNow is an agentic platform that seamlessly integrates with the tools teams already use. Its AI copilots augment and amplify leaders across the organization, starting with product, program, and strategy. Welcome to the Neural Command Era, where human judgment is the command, and AI is the engine of execution that turns intent into coordinated action, freeing teams from the friction of docs, decks, and meetings.

    “This isn’t an incremental upgrade, it rewires the core of how products get built,” said Tim Guleri, Managing Partner at Sierra Ventures. “ProductNow gives teams a real-time system of execution…something every product leader has wanted, but no one has delivered. It’s a rare kind of platform shift, and Tript has the depth and precision to see it through.”

    About ProductNow
    ProductNow is building the first AI-native system for product creation in the enterprise. Designed around collaborative agents, the platform replaces fragmented tools and manual workflows with intelligent, end-to-end coordination from strategy to execution. Founded by Tript Singh Lamba, former product executive at Expedia, Google, and Microsoft, the company is backed by Sierra Ventures, Parameter Ventures, and top MAANG operators.

    His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales competed in an exciting round-robin format match against Team Fortunis Bloodstock and Team Manta Marine Technologies – La Ilusión Polo Club. The high-profile charitable event featured other well-known polo players, including James Beim, Henry Porter, Jack Richardson, and Ivan Rubinich, to name a few. The match was filled with excellent gameplay from all participants, concluding with The Prince of Wales scoring the game-winning goal against Manta Marine Technologies. The Royal Charity Cup’s Most Valuable Player was Emma McCrae from Team Fortunis Bloodstock, who had a great neck-shot goal during the day, alongside the Best Polo Pony, Chechu, played by HRH and owned by King Power Polo.

    In addition to performance gear, U.S. Polo Assn. provided a limited-edition 135th Anniversary commemorative gift to all event attendees, celebrating the brand’s storied heritage dating back to 1890. The tailored gift set included a canvas tote bag, a 135th Anniversary cap, a pocket square, a lapel pin, the brand’s newest issue of Field X Fashion magazine, as well as co-branded event caps developed exclusively for this occasion.

    “It is an extraordinary honor to once again have The Prince of Wales lead the U.S. Polo Assn. Team in support of this meaningful charity event,” said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company which manages the global, multi-billion-dollar U.S. Polo Assn. brand. “We are proud to stand alongside our partner Brand Machine Group in raising critical funds and awareness through the sport of polo for very important causes that uplift communities across the United Kingdom.”

    The annual high-profile philanthropic event raised more than £1.1 million for 10 important charities that are supported by The Prince and Princess of Wales. The 2025 event contribution takes the total raised from Royal Charity Polo Days played in the U.K. over the last 14 years to more than £14 million.

    Those charities include: Anna Freud Centre, British Red Cross, Child Bereavement UK, East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices, Family Action, Fields in Trust, Forward Trust, NHS Charities Together, Royal African Society, and We Are Farming Minds.

    In addition to U.S. Polo Assn.’s role as the Official Apparel and Team Sponsor, the 2025 Outsourcing Inc. Royal Charity Polo Cup was supported by a distinguished lineup of sponsors, including Lugano Diamonds, AUDI, and Whispering Angel. These prestigious brands joined forces to help elevate the experience for players and guests alike, while reinforcing the event’s charitable mission through their shared commitment to excellence, philanthropy, and style.

    “Participating in the 2025 Outsourcing Inc. Royal Charity Polo Cup again is one of the highlights of the British polo season for Brand Machine Group,” said Boo Jalil, CEO of Brand Machine Group. “As the U.K. partner of U.S. Polo Assn., we are honored to help further connect the brand with the sport of polo and continue our shared mission of giving back through style and sport.”

    Guards Polo Club is one of only four polo clubs in the United Kingdom that stage elite tournaments, such as the Royal Charity Polo Cup. Founded in 1955 as the Household Brigade Polo Club, with His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh as President, the name was changed to the Guards Polo Club in 1969 and celebrates over six decades of premier polo.
