A big step forward: Botika’s mobile app and $8M seed round

We’re celebrating an exciting milestone at Botika - the release of our mobile iOS app and the successful close of an $8 million seed funding round.

The funding, co-led by Stardom Ventures and Secret Chord Ventures, with additional support from Seedcamp, propels us closer to our vision of making high-quality fashion photography accessible to brands of all sizes.

This achievement reinforces our mission to simplify the process of creating professional, on-brand images for fashion e-commerce. From the start, Botika has been about breaking down barriers, and this is just the beginning.

Why this changes the game

If you’re in the business of selling clothes online, you know the struggle: professional photography is expensive, time-consuming, and often feels out of reach for small and mid-sized brands.

That’s where Botika comes in. We use Generative AI to create studio-quality images with AI-generated models, all tailored to a brand’s unique style. With Botika, there’s no need for traditional photoshoots or big budgets—just fast, affordable, professional results.

Our new mobile iOS app takes things a step further, putting the power of our platform right in your pocket. Brands can now create, edit, and sync product images directly to their online stores—all from their phone. Whether it’s flat lays, mannequin, or on-model photos, the app empowers brands to produce stunning visuals anytime, anywhere.

By the numbers

The growth we’ve seen over the past year confirms what we’ve always believed: brands need accessible solutions to create great visuals. Here’s what we’ve achieved so far:

• 9x increase in revenue
• 11x growth in our customer base

These results show how much brands value tools that save time and costs while delivering professional results.

Looking ahead

The funding and app launch represent a huge step forward for us, but we’re just getting started. As we head into 2025, we’re focused on continuing to innovate and expand, helping even more brands enhance their visuals, boost conversions, and save on production costs.

To our customers, investors, and team: thank you for believing in us. Together, we’re transforming the way fashion brands approach photography—one image at a time.

Here’s to the exciting journey ahead!
