Adam, a Y Combinator alumnus, has secured $4.1 million in seed funding after its text-to-3D model app achieved over 10 million social media impressions. The funding round was led by TQ Ventures, with participation from 468 Capital, Pioneer, Script Capital, and Transpose Platform, as well as angel investors.
Capitalising on the traction gained from its viral launch, Adam is shifting its focus from consumer 3D creation to developing an AI copilot for professional computer-aided design (CAD) workflows. The company plans to launch the copilot by the end of 2025, initially targeting mechanical engineers and integrating with platforms like Onshape. Adam's AI copilot will allow users to describe and modify components, change constraints, and push changes to identical parts.
The company believes that AI should be integrated directly into the workflow, enabling users to offload repetitive feature updates, enforce standards across parts, and generate feature-rich parametric starting points. Adam's interaction model, combining selection and chat, is expected to be a key differentiator.
