Dorian Dargan And Jim Winkens Raise Early-Stage Investment From Alexis Ohanian For Doji

Doji, a virtual try-on fashion app powered by AI, was co-founded in 2024 by Dorian Dargan (formerly at Meta and Apple) and Jim Winkens (formerly at Google DeepMind). The company raised an early-stage investment in 2024 from Seven Seven Six, the VC firm led by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, and Origins Fund. Doji uses AI to generate lifelike avatars that allow users to virtually try on curated designer items or import products via shoppable links. The app, which has gained traction among tech workers and AI enthusiasts, aims to redefine the online dressing room experience.

Drizzy Secures Pre-Seed Funding From RiverPark Ventures Nucleus Ventures And Alexis OhanianDrizzy (@GetDrizzy), the Sydney-founded peanut butter brand now headquartered in the U.S. and Australia, has announced its American launch alongside a pre-seed funding round backed by investors including RiverPark Ventures, Nucleus Ventures and Alexis Ohanian. Founded by Australian entrepreneurs Jason Spyrides and Georgia Park, Drizzy is reimagining the peanut butter category with its signature premium squeeze-bottle format, made from American-grown peanuts and a splash of peanut oil. Free from added sugar, palm oil, stabilizers, and emulsifiers, the brand was built on the belief that healthy eating should be simple, clean, convenient, and transparent. By combining thoughtful product design with minimal ingredients, Drizzy is modernizing one of America's most-loved pantry staples for the way people eat today. FUN FACT: Peanut butter is a staple in nearly 95% of American households, but the experience hasn't evolved. After one too many messy smoothie mornings, they asked a simple question: if honey, ketchup and mayonnaise all come in squeeze bottles, why doesn't peanut butter? That question became Drizzy.
