Barcelona-based fashion technology startup Artiso AI has raised more than €3 million in an equity pre-seed funding round led by Criteria Venture Tech, with participation from Swanlaab Venture Factory and Bynd Venture Capital.
The round also included angel investors David Tomás, co-founder of Cyberclick, and Nicolaj Reffstrup, founder and former CEO of Danish fashion brand GANNI, who invested through Look Up Ventures.
Founded in 2025 by Sarah Iglesias Hiller (CEO), Lucas Pastur Romay (CPO), and Matthias Brenninkmeijer (CTO), Artiso AI develops an AI-powered software platform designed to connect creative and operational workflows across the fashion industry. All three founders previously worked at Spanish fashion retailer Mango.
The company’s platform enables fashion brands, designers, manufacturers, and creative teams to manage activities ranging from initial inspiration and collection design to product development, technical specifications, and marketing imagery.
Artiso AI uses agentic AI alongside brand-specific information, including historical collections, product archives, bestselling designs, and visual guidelines. This approach allows teams to generate designs, moodboards, technical packs, and campaign materials that reflect each brand’s established identity.
The platform brings together processes traditionally managed through separate design applications, product lifecycle management systems, and collaborative tools.
Artiso AI serves fashion businesses across Europe, North America, and Asia, with the United States identified as a key market for expansion.
The company plans to use the new capital to accelerate platform development, support enterprise customer deployments, and expand its workforce across fashion, design, and technology functions.
