We grew up in a time when there was a state of war and a blockade in our country. This impacted the quality of our lives and, unfortunately, our education. This was before Google, and our main knowledge came from Chekhov, Dostoevsky, Azimov, King, and others.
These authors shaped us and taught us not to give up and pursue our potential.
It was 2017 when after working for already 15 years together we decided to start 3dzook.
This was scary!
Here we are, 3 women, mothers, and wives, without proper funding or education, starting a technology start-up. Clearly, the odds are stacked against us.
That didn’t matter to us.
When people saw themselves transferred in our art style, it gave us that energy and passion to continue. Though we were struggling to keep the business afloat we were feeling richer and better from the joy and happiness we were able to provide to our customers.
This happiness kept us going.
At that time we were creating everything by hand, which was taking way too long and we were not able to scale the company.
How could we solve that?
Luckily, we met our future CTO Abel. He enabled us to build an AI algorithm that instantly transformed photos into illustrated portraits in our style.
Today, we have secured a round of funding, are driven more than ever and will continue to push forward in delivering happiness.
We have released our web and mobile applications, and users in 100+ countries have created 100K avatars.
That’s 100k new smiles we have created.
And we are just getting started!
With love,
