Data Tribune: Tech Podcast

We talk to Flore Lestrade, the CEO and founder of Veeton.

Veeton is an artificial intelligence-powered platform for automated fashion imaging. It provides fashion firms with an alternative to photo sessions, by helping clients create e-commerce shoots in a few clicks.

Its technology generates a range of high-quality on-model images, using only pack-shot photos. Veeton has raised a few million dollars of funding already, at seed stage.

How does one generate photoshoots at scale? How does one adapt to the evolving world of fashion with AI?

We end the discussion as usual with Flore's favourite books and startups.
