SpreeAI (stylized SPREEAI) is an American fashion technology company that develops artificial intelligence software for virtual fitting room and apparel size recommendation, which it sells to fashion brands and retailers. John Imah is its co-founder and chief executive officer. In May 2025 the company announced a valuation of US$1.5 billion following a funding round led by the Davidson Group, and it was listed among the startups that reached unicorn status in 2025.
History
Imah, who had previously worked on strategic partnerships at Snap, Meta and Twitch, has said the idea for SpreeAI came from a 2022 trip to Europe, where fashion executives told him they wanted a product that would raise sales, reduce returns and add personalization. Imah and Bob Davidson launched the company in 2023 and based it in Incline Village, Nevada.
The company's board includes Naomi Campbell and Bob Davidson and Larry Ruvo.
Partnerships
In May 2025 SpreeAI announced partnerships with the designer Sergio Hudson and the London label Kai Collective to add its try-on technology to their online stores. In December 2025 the company and Hudson announced a further partnership, which the company described as its first direct-to-consumer luxury fashion collaboration, going live on December 19, 2025. Imah wore a custom Hudson outfit to the 2025 Met Gala. Imah has said the company has close to 40 partners.
The company says it has research and talent collaborations with the MIT and Carnegie Mellon University, and a partnership with the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
Funding and valuation
In May 2025, SpreeAI announced that it had reached a valuation of $1.5 billion after a funding round led by the Davidson Group.
