Users can scroll curated looks, share outfits, and explore new styles. Currently in beta with plans to integrate in-app purchasing (instead of redirecting to external sites). ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (seed-stage startup) - **Key Metric**: Total Funding – $14M seed round (May 2025) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Thrive Capital (lead), Seven Seven Six (participation). Investors behind OpenAI, Cursor, and SKIMS are also involved (per careers page). - **Growth Signals**: Team grew 71.4% YoY to 8 employees; app available in 80+ countries; early adopters reportedly impressed; the company is actively hiring (Founding iOS Engineer, Design Engineer, Social Media Intern). ## Competitive Advantages - **Advanced AI technology**: Proprietary diffusion models deliver photo-realistic avatars and clothing try-ons, built by a team with deep AI research experience (DeepMind, Google). - **Founder domain expertise**: Dorian Dargan previously worked on Apple VisionOS and Meta Quest; Jim Winkens was an AI researcher at DeepMind and Google. They emphasize both technical chops and “taste” to make avatar representations feel inspiring rather than uncanny. - **Social & fun approach**: Unlike utilitarian try-on tools, Doji gamifies fashion exploration – users scroll endless looks on their avatar, making shopping discovery playful. ## Strategic Focus - **Improve AI models**: The $14M funding is primarily dedicated to making avatars and try-ons faster, more accurate, and higher quality. - **Integrate purchasing**: Currently users tap out to external retailers; the roadmap includes in-app buying. - **Scale from invite-only to public**: The app remains in invite mode; removing that barrier will drive adoption. - **Expand luxury & brand partnerships**: Onboarding emphasizes favorite brands; deeper retail partnerships are likely. ## Why Work Here - **Small, tight-knit team**: Based in NYC with just 8 people, offering outsized impact and ownership. - **Backed by elite investors**: Thrive Capital, Seven Seven Six – same backers as OpenAI and Cursor, indicating strong funding runway and network. - **Cutting-edge work**: Daily involvement in advanced diffusion models, real-time avatar generation, and consumer AI. - **Culture of craft**: “We go deep where others don’t – beyond surface. We lead with craft, curiosity and the courage to envision an entirely new paradigm.” (careers page) - **Open roles**: Current openings include Founding iOS Engineer, Design Engineer, and Social Media Intern – all with referral bonuses ($10k for successful engineer hires). - **Perks**: Not explicitly detailed, but startup environment typical of early-stage NYC tech companies; likely equity, flexible remote/hybrid, and direct collaboration with founders. ## Sources 1.
