Ukrainian startup Let’s Enhance raises $3M seed round

The Ukrainian startup Let’s Enhance raised a $3 million seed round. The startup is developing Claid, an end-to-end AI-powered image processing platform that helps marketplaces automatically edit, optimize, and deliver user-generated content. The round was led by Chamaeleon, a venture capital firm from Silicon Valley. Representatives of Let’s Enhance told AIN.UA about this funding.

Details of financing

Besides Chamaeleon, the Let’s Enhance startup has also received funding from Margo Georgiadis, Hype Ventures, and Acrobator. The fundraising took place online.

The funds raised will be used to enhance the platform Claid, namely to develop additional features for content moderation. Also, the company will scale the engineering team and sales department.

“Our goal is to help businesses effectively create and deliver visual experiences with next-gen AI content tools,” says Sofi Shvets, CEO and co-founder of Let’s Enhance.

Let’s Enhance started in 2021 as a B2B technology for e-commerce and marketplaces in the real estate, travel, and food tech industries dealing with large amounts of visual content.

Companies integrate Claid via API, set up required parameters, and neural networks edit photos step by step — improving their quality, adjusting color and tone, removing background, and compressing them to the set parameters. According to Let’s Enhance, the platform allows users to save up to 90% of editing time — process up to ten times faster than classic editors.
