Betaworks Bets $2M on Solaya. Here's Why.
Kourosh Nivesse, Business Developer
We're excited to announce that Solaya has raised $2 million in pre-seed funding, led by Betaworks, the New York fund behind early bets on HuggingFace, Airbnb, and X. Joining this round: business angels from NVIDIA, Adobe, Google DeepMind, and Santander.
Here is why Betaworks decided to bet on us.
The 3D perception market is rapidly expanding and is projected to reach $188 billion by 2030. For too long, traditional 3D tools have been expensive, overly complex, and reserved exclusively for a small group of specialists. Betaworks sees exactly what we see: that old paradigm is officially over.
What we’re building is a powerful smartphone app that transforms physical products into photorealistic 3D models in minutes. Our platform requires no specialized equipment and zero technical expertise, yet it delivers production-grade quality from a simple scan.
We are already trusted by global leaders across diverse sectors, including LVMH, Mattel, Karl Lagerfeld, SNCF, and Dassault Systèmes, powering everything from high-end luxury e-commerce to complex industrial simulations.
What this funding unlocks
- Expanded engineering team
- Global commercialization
- Product acceleration
- Mobile app launch (coming very soon)
One scan. Permanent digital asset. Infinite visual outputs.
