Bezel
Bezel is a Y Combinator (W25) startup that generates studio-quality photos and videos of apparel on photorealistic AI human models. Fashion and e-commerce brands upload a clothing image, pick a preset model, and get shoot-ready stills and video in seconds - replacing shoots that cost thousands of dollars and take days. Founded in 2025 in New York by Kashyap Achar, the company positions itself as an on-demand content engine for brands that need constant creative variety for ad testing.
The Brief
The Brief is an AI marketing platform that runs the full advertising campaign lifecycle - discovering competitor and market signals, creating ads at scale, launching them across channels, and optimizing performance - through a system of four AI agents. Formerly the ad-design tool Creatopy, the company rebranded to The Brief in October 2025 to position itself as an 'AI agency' for in-house marketing teams and agencies, and reports nearly 10,000 brands using the platform.
ChatLabs
ChatLabs is an AI company that helps consumer and luxury brands turn social-media attention into commerce. It began as the self-described first AI-powered social commerce platform, building hyper-personalized 'Social eXperiences' that carry shoppers from an Instagram or Facebook ad into a native-feeling, brand-controlled experience. It has since expanded into an AI product photography and brand creative studio that generates studio-quality product images, lifestyle visuals and performance ads without traditional photoshoots. Incubated by LVMH's innovation accelerator and a winner of the 2023 LVMH Data & AI Innovation Award, ChatLabs counts brands across the LVMH Group, plus Samsung Electronics and others, among its users.
Hikari Senju
Hikari Senju is the founder and CEO of Omneky, a San Francisco generative AI platform that creates, analyzes, and optimizes personalized ad creative at scale. A Harvard computer scientist and son of celebrated Nihonga painter Hiroshi Senju, he began building in generative AI in 2018, five years before ChatGPT made the field mainstream. His mission is to lower the cost of effective advertising so that any founder with a compelling idea can reach customers without a million-dollar budget. Omneky has raised over $13 million from investors including SoftBank and AIX Ventures, and in 2024-2025 Senju pivoted the company toward agentic AI that autonomously plans and runs campaigns across Meta, Google, and TikTok.
NewForm
NewForm is a New York-based creative intelligence company that pairs an in-house creative studio with proprietary software called Framework. It makes paid social ads at scale - roughly 2,500 assets a month written, shot, and edited by people - runs them in market, and turns every result into a living map of what works for a brand. Founded by Hamza Alsamraee, Andrew Presser, and Alec Velikanov, NewForm puts strategists, producers, and engineers under one roof to close the gap between creative and media for performance teams.
