Advex AI Secures $3.5M in Seed Funding and Unveils Groundbreaking GenAI Synthetic Data Platform for AI Vision in Manufacturing

Advex AI, an innovative startup addressing data challenges in AI Vision for manufacturing, has raised $3.5 million in seed funding led by Construct Capital, with support from Pear VC, Emerson Collective, and angels like Dropbox CTO Arash Ferdowsi and Infinitus CEO Ankit Jain. The company was also named a top 20 Finalist at TechCrunch Disrupt’s Startup Battlefield.

“We chose Advex for PearX, our accelerator for early-stage founders, because they showed remarkable technical expertise and a clear vision for tackling one of AI’s toughest challenges,” says Arash Afrakhteh, Partner at Pear VC. “From day one, they’ve proven themselves as top-tier founders with an innovative approach.”

Challenging the Traditional AI Workflow

Advex AI’s platform transforms AI Vision model development for enterprises, allowing teams to reduce data collection from months to hours by using GenAI to identify and synthesize missing data through advanced diffusion models. This blend of real and synthetic data enables more accurate, reliable AI Vision models that quickly adapt to real-world changes, helping manufacturers implement AI-driven automation in days rather than months.

“Advex eliminates the data barriers that make automation projects unfeasible for many manufacturers,” said Dayna Grayson, Co-Founder of Construct Capital. “Their platform offers immediate ROI by turning lengthy projects into quick deployments.”

Advex CEO Pedro Pachuca, a former Google Brain researcher, added, “We’re addressing labor shortages by enabling rapid, high-ROI automation in critical industries.”

Rapid Adoption and Proven Results with Global Manufacturers

Seven major global manufacturers and over 25 billion-dollar companies are adopting Advex’s Vision technology, achieving 50%+ gains in visual automation performance within days—improvements that typically take months or years.

Industries like automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics use Advex for tasks like surface defect detection and vision-guided robotics. As an NVIDIA Inception member, Advex collaborates with top machine vision providers to accelerate customer integration and workflow adaptation.

Advex’s focus on industrial applications allows it to collect exclusive real and synthetic data, enhanced by production feedback, to build superior AI models tailored for critical industry needs.

Expanding the Team to Tackle AI Vision’s Greatest Challenge

To meet growing demand from global manufacturers, Advex AI is expanding its team across multiple roles.

“Data is the biggest challenge in AI. With the right data, you have AI,” says Co-Founder and CTO Qasim Wani, a former deep learning expert at Qualcomm and PathAI. “In past projects, from chip design to drug discovery, data collection was the main bottleneck in productionizing AI. Solving data solves AI!”
