Gendo, a London, UK-based provider of an AI platform for architects and designers, recently closed a successful funding round, raising €1M in Pre-Seed funding. The company has ambitious plans for the future, with intentions to utilize the funds to expand the capabilities of its proprietary AI tools, accelerate the launch of new features, and scale its team. Founded in 2022 by George Proud and Will Jones, Gendo has been making waves in the design industry with its innovative browser-based application that leverages generative AI and ML models to assist designers in their work.
The platform allows users to upload their design files, whether they are in PNG or JPG format, and generate accurate images of their work.
By utilizing Gendo's tool, designers can take their basic design forms or well-resolved concepts and see them come to life with added materiality, lighting, and detailing. Already in beta testing, the tool has garnered attention from global architecture practices such as Zaha Hadid Architects, KPF, David Chipperfield Architects, and Benoy, who have seen the value in incorporating AI-driven tools into their design processes.
With the support of investors such as Concept Ventures, Ascension Ventures, Baobab Ventures led by Carles Reina, and a range of angels, Gendo is well-positioned to continue its growth and innovation within the architecture and design sector. The company's commitment to pushing the boundaries of what AI can achieve in the field of design is evident in its ongoing development efforts and partnerships with leading architectural firms. As Gendo looks to the future, it will undoubtedly play a key role in shaping the way architects and designers approach their work, ultimately leading to more efficient and creative design solutions.
