Alpha3D’s platform is designed to empower individuals, regardless of their 3D modeling expertise, to effortlessly create 3D digital assets from text prompts or uploaded images in a matter of minutes. These digital assets find applications in augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), virtual try-on (VTO), gaming, the metaverse, or even as NFTs.
The company has developed its proprietary AI technology in-house, accumulating millions of data assets over the years to bolster its platform. According to Madis Alesmaa, CEO of Alpha3D, instead of relying on scanning or manual modeling, their AI swiftly processes existing 2D images, extracting information to generate 3D images within seconds. Customers can then integrate these assets into their gaming environments, metaverse projects, e-commerce platforms, or wherever they see fit.
The team behind Alpha3D includes co-founders Alesmaa, Rait-Eino Laarmann, Shahab Anbarjafari, and Mariliis Retter, with backgrounds spanning startups, photogrammetry-based 3D model creation, and executive marketing roles.
Alpha3D has successfully raised close to $2 million in funding from a diverse group of investors, including venture capitalists and angel investors such as Sebastien Borget (co-founder and COO of The Sandbox), Taavi Rõivas (former prime minister of Estonia), and professionals from Meta, Slack, and PwC.
Despite the metaverse hype appearing to settle down, major brands are still exploring digital collectibles and NFTs, among other virtual products, as a means to engage with consumers in novel ways. For instance, Nike and Starbucks ventured into virtual marketplaces and NFT reward loyalty programs in the past year, demonstrating a continued effort to connect with consumers in the evolving digital landscape.
