Mission

We're building the tool the next generation of designers wishes existed today.

Loop turns the messy back-and-forth of design feedback into something that feels like working — not waiting.

The problem

Design teams lose 4 hours per designer per week to broken feedback cycles.

4hrs

Per designer, per week, on average.

Comments scattered across Slack, Loom, Figma threads, and PMs' notebooks. Designers wait days for clarification. PMs re-read 60-message Slack threads to find a screenshot. Engineers ship the wrong thing.

For a 30-person design org, that's 6,200 hours and $620K of designer time lost every year.

Survey of 1,247 designers across 320 teams, Q1 2026.

03

The solution

Loop is a canvas-native feedback layer that lives on top of every design tool.

Comments live on the canvas. Reviewers click anywhere on the design and start typing. No tabs, no thread-hunting, no screenshots.
Context follows the design. When the designer iterates, comments stay anchored to the elements they refer to — even after layout changes.
Status syncs everywhere. Loop pushes resolved/open status to Slack, Linear, and Jira. Stakeholders stop asking "is this done yet?"
Works with every tool teams already use. Figma, Framer, Photoshop, Adobe XD, and PNG/PDF exports. No migration. Install in 90 seconds.

Product released GA February 2025; live across 6,400 design teams as of April 2026.

How it works

Five steps from drop a link to shipped feedback, in under an hour.

01 — 0 min

Drop a Figma link

Designer pastes any design-tool URL into Loop.

02 — 2 min

Loop syncs the canvas

Instant render with element-level anchors ready.

03 — 10 min

Reviewers comment in-context

Click anywhere on the design; comments anchor to elements.

04 — 25 min

Designer iterates & responds

Threaded replies stay attached even when the design changes.

05 — 60 min

Status auto-syncs

Slack, Linear, Jira update automatically when resolved.

05

Why now

Three forces are converging — and they didn't exist two years ago.

— 01 Scale

Design teams tripled since 2020.

The average software company now has 11 designers, up from 3.4 in 2020. The handful of designers who used to fit in one Slack channel are now departments with their own coordination problem.

— 02 Stagnation

Feedback tools are a decade old.

Figma Comments shipped in 2017 and hasn't fundamentally evolved. Designers use spreadsheets and Loom for feedback. The tool layer is still designed for the 3-designer team.

— 03 Foundation

AI makes contextual anchoring possible.

Element-level anchoring required vision-model breakthroughs that arrived in 2024. Before that, "click anywhere on the canvas" was an open research problem. Today it's a 40ms inference.
