The company behind Rooms, Things, Inc., has announced over 1 million rooms built on the platform, with its inventory growing to over 10,000 items. Despite not sharing user numbers or engagement metrics, the app had reached a quarter of a million registered users last year. The recent funding, structured as a SAFE, allows Google to invest in Rooms’ Series A round. Previously, Rooms raised $10 million in seed funding from investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, Adobe’s Scott Belsky, and Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger. Currently available on the web and iOS, Rooms has yet to introduce monetization.
