Shootify selected for the 3rd stage of Venture Kick

Shootify, the tech startup incubated at the USI Startup Centre, demonstrated promising results, growing traction and strong execution, convincing the programme jury. The companies accepted to the third stage of the programme, receive CHF 100’000 as a convertible loan to further support project development.

Luca Ambrosini, Felipe Cardoso, and Andrea Ravano founded the company in 2024, drawing attention from several fashion brands from the very beginning and securing early-stage contracts with key market players. The solution developed by Shootify addresses the costly and time-consuming process of photo shooting that the fashion industry heavily relies on. By developing an AI-powered tool that creates professional, high-quality, fine-grained model-worn visuals from still-life photos of a garment, while preserving every detail and maintaining the brand’s unique aesthetic, the startup simplifies the entire process.

After securing the first two stages of the Venture Kick programme for a total of CHF 50,000, the team has been building momentum, acquiring new clients and capturing investor interest. They have now been awarded the third and final stage of the programme, receiving CHF 100,000 and gaining eligibility for additional funds of up to CHF 850,000 through Kickfund.
