NXN Labs
NXN Labs is a generative-AI company building software that turns flat-lay and mannequin product photos into realistic on-model imagery, virtual try-ons, and campaign visuals for fashion and retail brands. Its flagship platform, Arden AI, is pitched as an 'AI operating system' for creative production - covering asset generation, review-and-approval workflows, deployment, and performance analytics - built on a proprietary multimodal diffusion model. Founded in 2024 and backed by Naver D2SF, KB Investment, Smilegate Investment, and Shinsegae's Signite Partners, the company is expanding from South Korea to North America.
Jen Rhi
Jen Rhi is the founder and CEO of NXN Labs, a San Francisco and Seoul based AI company building an operating system for fashion and commerce imagery. A Stanford computer science graduate and former McKinsey and SoftBank Ventures alum, she left the investor side of the table to attack a problem she kept seeing in brands: creative ideas were cheap, but the production bandwidth to shoot models, garments and campaigns at scale was the real bottleneck. NXN Labs answers that with proprietary multimodal diffusion models that generate photorealistic on-model imagery, video and virtual try-ons without a physical shoot. Two months after founding, the company was backed by Naver D2SF, KB Investment and Smilegate; by 2026 it had landed European luxury clients and a spot on the NRF Innovators' Showcase Top 50.
