Zhiyi Tech is a four-year-old Hangzhou startup run by two Carnegie Mellon Ph.D.s in AI that provides a one-stop software ecosystem for fashion brands and influencers. Its product scours the internet — including Instagram influencers and fashion shows — to identify trending colors, materials and patterns and turns those signals into actionable design insights. It also analyzes apparel sales on e-commerce platforms such as Alibaba’s Taobao and Douyin to break down bestsellers. The company maintains an ecosystem of suppliers that retailers can tap to accelerate on-demand manufacturing. Zhiyi primarily serves brands in China while positioning its product around a broader shift toward on-demand, live-commerce-driven fashion. With the new funding, the company plans to hire more staff and conduct product R&D.
