Announcing our $27M Series B
Vizcom has raised $27 million in Series B funding led by Radical Ventures to expand beyond visualization into the broader creative workflow, serving over 700,000 designers. The funding will help deepen domain-specific capabilities in automotive, footwear, apparel, and consumer goods, empowering designers to move from first sketch to physical reality with unprecedented speed.
2025 Year in Review
As 2025 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on a year of ideas turned into reality by the Vizcom community. From countless iterations and late-night sketches to concepts pushed further and made tangible. This recap celebrates what we've built together, the momentum behind it, and how we’re continuing to grow together into 2026.
The Birdhouse Challenge That Took Flight
Vizcom partnered with Render Weekly for a global design challenge reimagining the birdhouse, receiving hundreds of creative submissions. Five winning designs—including Germain Verbrackel's "DUCKHOUSE" and Edwin Tanu's "KASA"—were brought to life by Womp as physical prototypes.
Introducing Modify: A New Way to Reimagine Your Designs
Modify is a visual iteration tool that lets designers adjust concepts using intuitive controls—sliders, toggles, and inputs—rather than starting from scratch. It enables quick exploration of new angles, form variations, expressions, and materials without re-prompting or re-sketching.
Vizcom partnered with Cycle to sponsor a Creative Camp workshop at Rubika design school in France, connecting with students to understand their workflows. Students praised Vizcom as "way better compared to other AI tools" for being genuinely connected to the design world rather than purely artistic.
Vizcom secured $5 million in seed funding led by Unusual Ventures to develop its AI-powered design tool. The funding will make the platform more intuitive and powerful while introducing features for greater control, speed, and creativity in the design ideation phase.
Vizcom demonstrates comprehensive commitment to responsible AI through robust security measures including AWS hosting, SOC 2 Type 1 certification, and multi-layered data protection. The company ensures clients maintain ownership of designs while implementing strict privacy controls, ethical AI development practices, and transparent risk management.
Vizcom believes AI should empower designers as a tool rather than replace them, with designers maintaining authorship and ownership over generated designs. The company is committed to responsibly and ethically harnessing AI power while prioritizing security, privacy, and listening to the design community's needs.
Vizcom has achieved SOC 2 Type 1 compliance, validating the design and implementation of its security processes. This milestone demonstrates the company's commitment to securely managing client data through robust security measures including AWS hosting, encryption, and role-based access controls.
Vizcom users retain full ownership of all uploads and designs, with different data usage policies for Free and Paid plans. Free users grant broader licenses for AI improvement using anonymized data, while Paid users' content is never used for training without explicit permission.
Footwear designer Dennis Johann Mueller shares how he integrates AI tools like Vizcom into his creative workflow, treating them as collaborative partners rather than replacements. He emphasizes maintaining design fundamentals while using AI to accelerate iteration and overcome creative blocks.
Regina Aguirre became Vizcom's first student ambassador, exploring how AI can enhance human creativity rather than replace it through her industrial design studies. Her research demonstrated that AI enables designers to "make thought visible" and act as the "perfect duo" with human creativity.
Vizcom introduces the ability to generate 3D geometry from photos or drawings in seconds, making 3D design more intuitive during the ideation process. This feature allows designers to rapidly bridge dimensions and view concepts from all angles without the complexity of traditional CAD programs.
Turkish car designer Berk Kaplan conducted a three-day digital sketching workshop at MOME in Budapest, exploring AI's role in automotive design education. The workshop emphasized that sketching remains essential for visual communication while demonstrating how AI tools like Vizcom support rather than replace the creative process.
Team member Chris Ference designed, rendered, 3D printed, and iterated on a chair design in just 48 hours using Vizcom. The workflow demonstrated how sketch-based 3D generation enables rapid iteration from initial concept to physical prototype, making the design process more seamless.
Vizcom has achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance, demonstrating its commitment to data security, privacy, and protecting users' creative assets. This certification ensures that designers' work is handled with the highest standards of security and care.
The inaugural episode of Vizcom's "Design Decoded" video series features Robert Munson, who spent 41 years at General Motors and designed the iconic Cadillac CTS Coupe. After retirement, Munson embraced AI tools to push his craft further, offering insights on balancing AI assistance with human creativity.
Vizcom's mission is to redefine how design takes shape by building AI-powered tools that accelerate the creative process from sketch to substance. The company envisions a future where designers can iterate endlessly at the speed of thought, with AI as a collaborative extension rather than a replacement.
Vizcom's upgraded Modify feature now allows designers to edit designs using natural language descriptions instead of just preset controls. This enables quick changes to colors, materials, lighting, environments, and context, making iteration faster and storytelling more powerful.
