Innit wants to essentially be the software layer that sits on top of a growing assortment of connected appliances and devices. Manufacturers like Whirlpool are increasingly turning to smaller software-focused companies to help bring smart kitchens to life — indeed, it’s why Innit announced a partnership recently with Whirlpool to enable advanced automated cooking on their kitchen appliances, starting with Jenn-Air brand WiFi connected wall ovens. The Redwood City, Calif.-based startup also recently raised another $18 million in funding, bringing its total funding from private investors to $43 million. Call it the Internet of Things… That Help You Cook Better Food. Brett Dibkey, vice president and general manager of integrated business units at Whirlpool, told BGR the company is trying to speed up innovation on connectivity and sensors in its kitchen appliances.
