Picnic

Seattle-based restaurant tech startup Picnic added former Amazon and Microsoft hardware leader Kennard Nielsen as vice president of engineering. Nielsen led development of the first four Kindle Fire tablets for Amazon, Xbox Kinect for Microsoft and FuelBand for Nike. He is a registered professional engineer who holds seven patents. Picnic also said it raised $5 million in a seed funding round by Creative Ventures, with investors Flying Fish Partners and Vulcan Capital. That capital will support product development, staffing and marketing. The company makes a robot that assembles pizzas.
