How Hard Can It Be?

It was 2019, half a decade ago,

When Konstantina chose to take a 3D modelling and 3D animation course at her university

When she started the course thoughts started to kick in and frustration started to take over…

“This is going to be a lot harder than expected.”

But not all is bad because when she was able to address her frustration, she was able to create something magnificent: ✨ Kaedim ✨ just 2 years later

The Journey - Coming From The Inside

Kaedim is an AI startup.

They are developing the next generation of AI tools for creators, starting from 3D artists.

Their mission is to accelerate the transition from a digital 2D world to a 3D one.

The key component of this goal is making 3D content creation which is currently super time-consuming and expensive.

They want Kaedim to be highly scalable without sacrificing quality.

Throwback to some of the highlights:

During 2020 Konstantina Graduated with a computer science (CS) degree,

She then went on to win the New Enterprise Competition of our University and received the company’s first money in the bank from Chris Kingsley.

She says it “Felt like the world was our oyster. No one was there to tell us otherwise.”

Next came 2021 and they Launched the first version of the Kaedim web app, and started selling.

This is when a further 3 people joined the company named Ioanna, Jorge, and Om

They raised their Seed in Autumn 2022 (Raised Seed = first investors for their software product)

Later that year in August Kaedim Went VIRAL

Post launching their “trials” with thousands of people joining their Discord overnight. (shocked face)

Then 1 day later, waking up to hundreds of trolls saying they were a scam.

Last year in 2023 they say they went hardcore from Day 1, celebrating the New Year by launching automatic texturing on Jan 1.

Launched their suite of automatic tools (AI) including Levels of Detail (LoDs) and UV unwrapping, and onboarding some of the most legendary game studios as enterprise customers.

As time moved on their team got even bigger. 4 more people named Rachel, Antonis, Cherise, and Zach joined the team.

They also opened a San Francisco Kaedim headquarters (HQ)!

As for 2024 they say “big things are coming, Hint: find us at Booth SU21”

Where is Kaedim now?

Konstantina and her team at Kaedim are now helping hundreds of:

• Game Developers

• 3D Printing Shops

• Product Designers

• Architects

• Marketers

To accelerate their 3D asset production in their everyday lives.

4 years into their journey with Kaedim they say that they are just getting started

Or in their words….

“WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED. LET’S FUCKING GOOOOO 🚀”
