Reddit Co-founder Invests in AI Fashion App Doji

In a significant move within the tech and fashion industry, Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit (NYSE: RDDT), has invested in a new AI-powered fashion app called Doji. The app was launched in January 2024 and has been gaining traction for its innovative approach to fashion by allowing users to virtually try on designer clothes without leaving their couch.

Doji employs artificial intelligence to create lifelike avatars of its users. By simply uploading a selfie, users can try on curated designer pieces from high-profile brands such as Maison Margiela, Diesel, and Rick Owens. This unique feature has attracted attention, particularly from tech-savvy individuals and early adopters in companies like Anthropic, Humane, and Cursor.

Founders of the app include Dorian Dargan, a former employee of both Meta and Apple, and Jim Winkens, who has a background with Google DeepMind. Their combined expertise has propelled Doji to a notable position in the market, blending cutting-edge technology with fashion innovation.

One of the key investors, Alexis Ohanian, has backed Doji through his venture capital firm Seven Seven Six. Recently, he expressed his enthusiasm on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, highlighting how AI is bringing an element of fun back into the consumer market.
