    Led · Seed · Aug 2022

    Cupixel provides an app that leverages AR and AI technologies and pairs them with content, art materials, interactive tools, and live or on-demand artist-led experiences. Its AR-powered smart tracing technology casts outlines from a gallery or users' own designs onto any surface for tracing, while AI-powered photo-to-outline conversion lets users upload photos and convert them into outlines. The app also includes a text editor for designing text-based artwork and a time-lapse tool to capture and share the creative process. Cupixel sells physical art sets such as an Acrylic Art Set and a Greeting Card Set that include premium materials and supplies. The app is available on Google Play and the App Store for $12.99/month. Elad Katav is founder and CEO and the company is based in Boston, MA; it recently raised $5M in seed funding.
