trezi funding: Metaverse-based startup Trezi raises $2 million in funding

Metaverse-based startup Trezi said on Wednesday that it has raised over $2 million in a funding round led by World V and YourNest Venture Capital, along with two other investors, Auxano Capital and She Capital.

Trezi is an immersive design communication and collaboration platform for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry that allows users to leverage immersive tech and the metaverse.

The startup said it will utilise the capital to accelerate its platform development in the metaverse and entry into high-potential new geographies.

Founded by architects Tithi and Gautam Tewari, Trezi operates on a SaaS model and allows its clients to upload architectural models for viewing, editing, and remote collaboration in real time.

“Having started as purely a design communication enhancing product, Trezi’s offerings have expanded based on customer needs. This is what makes it relevant with a metaverse-based play for our industry. The kind of customers that use Trezi only strengthens this view further. We are excited about the next phase of growth,” said Tithi Tewari, managing director of Trezi.

To minimise wastage with product selection in construction projects, Trezi onboarded product manufacturers such as Schneider Electric, GMR, NCRTC, St Gobain, Orient Bell, The White Teak Company and Blue Star.

“Trezi’s offering is simple, making it valuable. The product can immediately demonstrate how the future would look on a decision taken today with regards to your building at large and interiors of your taste,” said Shailesh Churiwala, partner at World V. “The way this is done is not just in the form of 2D or 3D images or videos but with an immersive environment where one can virtually walk and take a tour.”
