Experience the Benefits of Creativity Using Advanced
Technologies
BOSTON, Aug. 10,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cupixel, an experience
start-up that brings the joy of creating art to everyone, announces
today that the company secured $5M in
seed funding led by JOANN (NASDAQ: JOAN).
The Cupixel app harnesses state-of-the-art AR and AI
technologies and pairs it with innovative content, premium art
materials, interactive tools, and live or on-demand artist-led
experiences, enabling people to easily create striking works of
art. People who have never before made art can create spectacular
paintings and drawings in limitless styles, with limitless
subjects, choosing from an extensive gallery of images and
fonts. Cupixel offers people a creative outlet and all
the benefits that go with that—wellbeing, mindfulness, and joy.
The Cupixel app is available on Google Play and
the App Store for
$12.99/month,

"JOANN is committed to bringing our customers the best tools and
assortment available and has been investing in the latest craft
technology over recent years," said Rob
Will, Executive Vice President and Chief Merchandising
Officer at JOANN. "We believe that Cupixel is at the
cutting edge and is providing users of all skill levels with
the unique and significant rewards that come from
creating art.
Cupixel's AR-powered smart tracing technology casts
outlines—either from its gallery of images or of users' own
design—onto any surface for people to trace. Cupixel's
AI-powered photo to outline conversion technology allows users to
upload their own photographs and convert them into image outlines
that people can turn into art. And Cupixel's text editor
technology lets users design text-based artwork that can stand
alone or be added to another piece of art, while its time-lapse
tool captures the entire process so people can watch their art come
to life and share it on social media.
"Cupixel offers daily live and on-demand art experiences
that continually provides value for our users and their families
—whether they are making greeting cards, uploading their own photos
and drawing them, or more — everyone can produce their own
masterpiece," says Elad Katav,
Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Cupixel.
In addition to the AR app's interactive
tools, Cupixel offers physical art sets with all the
premium materials users need to create art.
The Cupixel Acrylic Art Set includes high-quality paints,
brushes, and canvases for paintings, while the Greeting Card Set
includes art supplies for creating personalized greeting cards,
including premium blank card stock and envelopes, 12 dual-tipped
markers, and a selection of greeting card covers.
