Participated · Seed · Feb 2026
Founded by Ferhat Kaplan and İbrahim Kaya, Turkey-based Orion Twin builds technology that transfers physical objects and processes into realistic, AI-driven digital twins. Its flagship product, combin.Studio, lets fashion brands generate professional model imagery in seconds by uploading simple product photos, cutting the need for physical photo shoots and reducing operational costs. Beyond fashion, the company’s infrastructure can digitize cultural and historical artifacts, showcasing broad sector applicability and scalability. Over the past year Orion Twin increased its valuation 2.5-fold, reaching a $2.5 million mark highlighted in its latest fund-raise. The new capital will be directed toward expanding combin.Studio’s marketing, deepening technical capabilities, and accelerating global user acquisition. Orion Twin positions itself at the intersection of e-commerce efficiency and immersive user experiences, aiming to blur the line between physical and digital retail. The company also emphasizes operational efficiency for clients, promising speed, cost reduction, and richer consumer engagement through its AI visualization stack.
