On June 12, 2023, Silicon Valley AIGC design-automation firm Collov closed a Series A of nearly $10M. Lead: Delta Capital (德韬资本); existing Amoeba Capital (阿米巴); follow-ons Will Hunting Capital (将门) and Boston deep-tech fund Taihill Venture. Proceeds: R&D and go-to-market.
Founded end-2021; interior design as the wedge for an industrial-grade design-automation cloud powered by foundation models and genAI. CEO Zhang Xiao: design automation bridges real products and virtual experience in industrialized design.
Probabilistic AI generates diversified schemes from needs/style tags (draft → refine), cutting designer communication cost. Multimodal LLM understands conversational edits and returns revised images; design params can push to furniture production — closing design→sales automation. Goal: connect schemes ↔ furniture SKUs and design ↔ sales. 300+ brand partners, millions of furniture SKUs, millions of USD in sales already.
Core team DNA: LLM, AIGC, GNN. Roadmap expands across design categories and data. Investors cite home-furnishing as a strong AIGC scene and expect Collov × Goldenhome (金牌厨柜) to build smart home-design tools and one-stop AI service.
