Backboard Raises Pre-Seed To Provide LLM Memory
Ottawa-based Backboard, founded by Assent co-founder Rob Imbeault in April 2025, said it raised a substantial pre-seed round led by Mistral Venture Partners with participation from Garage Capital, N49P, DevCap and two angel investors. The startup is building a portable memory layer that can attach to more than 2,000 LLMs to preserve context across sessions; it will allocate 40 percent of funds to product development.
Key Points
- 1Raises pre-seed funding led by Mistral with participation from Garage, N49P, DevCap, and two angels

- 3Enables long-running agents and enterprise assistants; practitioners can build stateful, multi-session products
Scoring Rationale
Notable startup funding and practical memory solution, but early-stage scope limits immediate industry-wide impact and adoption.
