Everyone is scrambling to figure out the ways generative artificial intelligence will open up new possibilities to produce revenue. Let me introduce you to a startup that’s figuring it out: BLNG.AI.
I’m also thrilled to announce that I am joining BLNG AI’s advisory board. This innovative LA-based startup is a true trailblazer in merging creativity and AI in the fashion and jewelry industry.
Led by Valerie Leblond and Dumëne Comploi, the company unlocks individuals’ artistic abilities to design – and own – their own custom jewelry.
I’m excited to support their mission, because it’s much more than just jewelry. And it’s not just about driving revenue.
BLNG.AI is a prime example of how AI is poised to democratize creativity.
Let me tell you about Valerie. She’s a dynamic founder whose career has been all about marrying creativity with technology. Her long associations with entities as disparate as Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group and UCLA Architecture and Urban Design, where she ran the IDEAS research & development program, are a testament to that.
Her co-founder Dumëne has the same sensibility. He’s the CTO of BLNG.AI and complements Valerie's expertise with his own AI focus. They both embody a perfect combination of art and science. Dumëne recently left Disney where he worked the past several years, and he brings deep knowledge in integrating AI to enhance guest experiences to BLNG.AI.
Beyond its consumer applications, BLNG.AI represents an enormous opportunity for commerce.
The future of retail is where digital and physical meet. As ecommerce continues to surge — Insider Intelligence forecasts a 10.2% year-over-year gain in online retail in 2023 to nearly $385 billion — companies like BLNG.AI will be driving much of those increases.
BLNG.AI also allows retailers to tap into new markets and consumers across the globe by offering custom-designed and locally inspired jewelry.
