## About

Founded in 2022 by Abhay Agarwal (CEO), and Sam Young, and based in California, US, Poly is a software-as-a-service platform that provides artificial intelligence-based (AI) solutions that allow 3D modelers, game developers, and artists to create 3D designs. In December 2022, Poly raised USD 3.9 million in seed funding co-led by new investors Bloomberg Beta, Felicis Ventures, and NextView Ventures, with participation from other new investors AI Grant Fund, Figma, Inc., and Y Combinator.

Poly provides a set of generative tools that enable designers to create video games and other virtual assets, such as textures for 3D models, using only text prompts. Designers can use Poly to describe a texture or provide a reference image to generate textures for 3D models that can be customized to add volume, depth, and details to the surfaces of 3D objects.

The company intends to use the December 2022 funding to further develop its product offering and increase the number of its manpower.
