Investment Thesis
Raspberry AI is a generative AI platform built for fashion creatives. The platform allows designers to visualize and iterate on product ideas instantly using text-to-image technology trained specifically on fashion industry data.
Raspberry AI has gained traction with major brands including Under Armour, MCM Worldwide, and Li & Fung. The company hit $5.9M in revenue and is expanding into home, furniture, and cosmetics design.
Fashion brands must turn trends into sellable products in days, but design-to-production workflows rely on hand sketches, manual reviews, and slow tech packs that can't keep pace.
End-to-end generative AI platform trained on fashion data that produces trend research, 2D tech drawings, CAD files, and product imagery in minutes using proprietary ControlNets.
Generic image models like DALL-E can't generate production-ready tech packs and colorways; vertically integrated brands now expect 7-day turnarounds and AI finally handles domain-specific output.
