Manchester-based startup Voxelo has raised £300,000 in the first close of its pre-seed round as it brings an AI-powered 3D product content studio to market.

The platform is looking to allow retailers and brands to generate 3D, AR and product imagery from a single uploaded video, using its proprietary UG3D technology to create digital twins in around two hours.

Voxelo is already working with early customers including Cosatto and British Attire and has received backing from Innovate UK and multiple accelerator programmes.

The round remains open, with the business now progressing towards a final close as it scales product development and go-to-market activity.
