Doji Secures $14 Million Seed Funding Led By Thrive Capital And 776

Doji, a fashion-tech startup founded by Dorian Dargan and Jim Winkens, has raised a $14 million seed round led by Thrive Capital, with participation from Seven Seven Six Ventures. The company uses proprietary diffusion models to create hyper-realistic AI avatars for virtual try-ons, aiming to make online fashion shopping more fun, social, and personalized. Dargan, who previously worked at Apple and Meta, and Winkens, a former DeepMind researcher, launched Doji to reimagine the shopping experience through a “virtual mirror” that lets users see themselves in new looks. The app, currently in invite-only mode, is available in over 80 countries.
