Raspberry AI offers a text-to-image platform that turns sketches and prompts into photo-realistic images to accelerate fashion product development. The product understands industry-specific terminology and can generate dozens of iterations of a single design, reducing the need for physical samples. Founded two years ago by Cheryl Liu, the company was built after the emergence of image models like DALL·E and Stable Diffusion. Raspberry counts 70 customers, including Under Armour, Groupo Teddy and MCM Worldwide. The startup positions itself against general image generators by emphasizing fashion-specific understanding and sketch-to-image capabilities. It plans to use new funding to hire engineering, sales and marketing staff and to expand into home, furniture and cosmetics product design. Raspberry AI is a New York–based generative AI platform for fashion designers. Led by CEO and founder Cheryl Liu, the company provides a generative AI fashion product development platform that enables designers to increase revenue and speed-to-market. Its software enables fashion brands and retailers to understand consumer demand and create designs with high purchase likelihood in minutes. The company raised $4.5M in seed funding. It intends to use the funds to expand operations and accelerate product development. No operating metrics (revenue/users) were disclosed in the article.
