Shenzhen Fu Technology received tens of millions of yuan in financing and focused on large-scale AI models for clothing design

Recently, Zhejiang Shenfu Artificial Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. ("Shenfu Technology") announced the successful completion of tens of millions of yuan in Pre-A round financing. This financing was led by Shanghai Houyi Capital. Proceeds from the financing will be mainly used to further develop AI models, introduce technical talents and market expansion. It is worth mentioning that Shenzhen Fu Technology has received angel round financing from Zhejiang Kunxin Investment in March 2024, with the capital also amounting to tens of millions of yuan.

Shenzhen Fu Technology was established in April 2023 and focuses on providing AI solutions for the clothing industry. It aims to solve problems in clothing design and pattern making through large model technology, thereby reducing design thresholds and R&D costs. The founder, Wu Sisi, has nearly ten years of work experience in the fashion design industry and has rich supply chain resources. The other founding members of the company also come from well-known companies such as Tencent and Google, and have accumulated rich experience in the fields of clothing design and AI.

Fashion design and pattern making are usually two separate links, with designers and pattern makers each responsible for different tasks. Shenfu Technology uses AI technology to break the communication barriers between the two. The company has currently launched two large AI models focusing on clothing design, "Jiangyi Further Education" and "Jinxiu Qianshe". Among them, the Huayiyi AI pattern making tool will be officially launched in January 2025, aiming to help fashion designers independently generate CAD pattern making drawings after completing the design, greatly improving work efficiency.

Wu Sisi said that the traditional pattern making process requires repeated communication between the designer and the pattern maker, which is inefficient. However, through the Yiyi Drawing Tool, designers can generate more patterns in a short time, achieving the goal of going from only 2 to 3 patterns a day. version, increased to 20 to 30 versions a day, and the efficiency increased tenfold. Shenzhen Fu Technology’s goal is not only to optimize the design and pattern making process, but also to promote the overall digital transformation of the apparel industry.

In the future, Shenzhen Fu Technology also plans to carry out more cooperation with leading domestic Internet platforms and clothing brands to explore new application scenarios, with a view to providing core technical support for the next generation of consumption scenarios in the clothing industry.
