Visionary Leadership Drives $1.5 Billion Valuation
Led by visionary co-founder and CEO John Imah, SpreeAI’s board is bolstered by legendary supermodel and fashion icon Naomi Campbell, alongside entrepreneurs Bob Davidson and Larry Ruvo. Having one of the
world’s most recognized fashion figures on the board underscores SpreeAI’s fusion of high-fashion insight with cutting-edge tech. The company recently achieved a $1.5 billion valuation after an undisclosed funding round led by The Davidson Group, a prominent family office known for supporting groundbreaking ventures. This milestone valuation reflects the market’s confidence in SpreeAI’s mission and its rapid growth at the intersection of technology and style.
“It’s inspiring to be part of SpreeAI’s transformative journey under John’s visionary leadership,” said Campbell. “I’ve always believed in pushing boundaries and embracing innovation, and seeing John’s passion and determination firsthand makes me even more excited about the future we’re creating together. SpreeAI represents the powerful fusion of fashion, technology and inclusivity—and I’m thrilled to be on this groundbreaking path.”
Academic and Industry Alliances Fuel Innovation
Exclusive collaborations with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Carnegie Mellon University, across research initiatives, talent development and technical collaboration, drive SpreeAI’s deep commitment to innovation. Additionally, SpreeAI’s partnership with the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) further solidifies its intersection between advanced technology and high-fashion expertise. These prestigious alliances enable the company to lead the industry with unmatched solutions. With four issued patents and 23 pending, SpreeAI safeguards its proprietary technology, ensuring its position as a frontrunner in the competitive retail tech market. This foundation of innovation is further supported by internal initiatives like Protea—a platform that helps retail partners integrate and test SpreeAI’s solutions—empowering brands to enhance operational efficiency and customer experiences.
“The CFDA is proud to collaborate with SpreeAI, a fashion technology leader delivering innovative solutions to help designers and brands thrive in the fashion industry,” said Steven Kolb, CEO of CFDA.
“AI is poised to revolutionize many things, including e-commerce,” explained Deva Ramanan, professor at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon. “SpreeAI is pushing the forefront of this for a truly personalized garment-shopping experience, by leveraging collaborations with academia and assembling a team that understands both the deep technical challenges and their product impact.”
Fashion Collaborations and Met Gala Spotlight
2025 is set to be a transformative year for SpreeAI, with major retail and luxury brand partnerships, and new product features on the horizon. As part of this momentum, SpreeAI is announcing new partnerships
with luxury fashion label Sergio Hudson and London-based contemporary womenswear brand Kai Collective. The timing of these collaborations coincides with a cultural moment: the 2025 Met Gala’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which honors Black designers. Both Sergio Hudson and Kai Collective’s founder, Fisayo Longe, are celebrated Black designers at the forefront of fashion innovation. Imah attended the Met Gala as the first-ever CEO of a fashion tech and AI startup to be invited, underscoring SpreeAI’s prominent role in the fashion world and its commitment to celebrating the creative visionaries who inspire its technology.
“We’re thrilled to partner with SpreeAI and aim to create a personalized experience for Sergio Hudson and drive increased sales,” said Hudson.
“At Kai Collective, we’re always looking for ways to fuse innovation with storytelling,” said Longe. “Collaborating with SpreeAI allows us to explore how technology can elevate the customer experience while staying true to our brand’s identity and values.”
These designer partnerships exemplify how SpreeAI’s technology unites with creative vision to redefine customer engagement. And SpreeAI isn’t stopping here—the company has hinted that even more collaborations with major luxury fashion houses are on the way. By keeping details under wraps, SpreeAI is fueling a buzz of excitement and industry-wide anticipation for what’s coming next.
“Our approach will always be customer-focused—that means both the retail partners and the consumers we serve,” said Imah. “We don’t just look at the shopping landscape; we reimagine it. Whether it’s in-store or online, we step back and ask how AI can transform real-world challenges into seamless, exciting experiences. This mindset drives us forward as we continue shaping the future of retail and fashion with AI, blending innovation with personalization to empower and inspire. The possibilities are limitless, and we’re just getting started.”
