Doji is a New York-based AI fashion startup building an app that turns a handful of selfies into a photo-realistic personal avatar, then lets people try on real clothing from anywhere on the web. Founded in 2024 by Dorian Dargan and Jim Winkens - the name is a mash-up of their first names - Doji uses its own diffusion models to make virtual try-ons feel less like a gimmick and more like a fun, social way to shop. The company raised a $14M seed round led by Thrive Capital with participation from Seven Seven Six in May 2025, days after launching on the App Store in more than 80 countries.
Indyx is a San Francisco digital wardrobe app that lets people catalog everything they own, plan outfits, work with personal stylists, and eventually resell their clothes - all in one place. Founded by two former retail-industry insiders, it makes the opposite bet of most fashion businesses: instead of selling you the next thing, it helps you actually use what you already own. Users get a searchable digital closet with automatic background removal, cost-per-wear tracking, packing lists, and social sharing, framed around a simple idea - know what you own, love what you wear.
