Arcade, a San Francisco, CA-based generative AI physical product marketplace, raised $25m in Series A funding.
The Series A, which brought total funding raised to date $42M, was raised from Laura Chau of Canaan Partners and Kirsten Green of Forerunner Ventures, with April Underwood of Adverb Ventures and Sol Bier of Factorial Funds participating. Current investors Reid Hoffman, Offline Ventures (Brit Morin), Sound Ventures (Ashton Kutcher), Inspired Capital (Alexa von Tobel), and Torch Capital (Jonathan Keidan) reinvested in this round. New angel investors Sara Beykpour, Kayvon Beykpour, Anna Veronika Dorogush, Eugenia Kuyda and Marissa Mayer joined existing angel investors Christy Turlington Burns, Colin Kaepernick, Karlie Kloss, David Luan, and Jeff Wilke.
Co-founded by Mariam Naficy with the team from her incubator, Heretic Ventures, Arcade brings together generative AI with a global community of independent makers and brands to turn user needs into personalized, immediately priced physical products in a quantity of one. The company enables consumers to speak to manufacturers with images, bridging language and geographic divides.
After Arcade’s beta launch in September 2024, the platform has seen rapid adoption among consumers and makers, and in three months, users on Arcade have created 650,000 jewelry designs. The home goods category launches today.
