We are thrilled to announce that we have raised our pre-seed funds of $1.5M led by Inflexor Ventures, June 2024.
A warm day for everyone at the Ayna office as we are now backed with VC funds and ready to to push the boundaries of generative AI and deliver unparalleled value to our customers.
Ayna uses GenAI to help businesses produce studio-quality product photoshoots on a large scale. We caters to brands like Reliance Retail's Clovia, Wakefit, and WomanLikeU, among others.
Here is how we did it:
Yash and Aastha (The founders of Ayna) are seasoned founders who already have experience with running a business.
We only had an MVP. Despite this, we managed to get a few clients. These clients advocated for us.
Cold outreach was our best friend.The market size is substantial, with a good chance of capturing a significant share once the product is fine-tuned.
Ayna’s core technology uses state-of-the-art base models that outperform generalized models in their specific use case.
What's next for Ayna?
As we move forward with this significant milestone, our journey has only just begun. With this funding, we plan to:
Expand Our R&D: Invest in research and development. This will elevate our core generative AI technology. We need to make sure it remains at the forefront of industry advancements.
Broaden Our Client Base: We will scale our outreach to onboard more brands. Our goal is to expand our reach within mid-market and high-intent ecommerce retailers across diverse geographies.
Enhance Product Offerings: Continue innovating on Ayna’s customizable AI-powered photoshoots. Provide brands with even more flexibility. Give them creative control over their visual content.
This funding is not just a win for Ayna. It is a stepping stone towards reshaping the product photography landscape. This change is for brands around the world. We are excited to partner with more visionary brands. Together, we will redefine how businesses showcase their products. We will also enhance how they connect with their customers.
