aiinsider ·
VibeIQ, an AI-native product decision platform for apparel and consumer goods, has raised $22.5 million in growth financing. The round was led by Volition Capital, with participation from existing investor Venture Guides. The platform gives merchandising, design, and product development teams a single live view of the product line, using embedded AI to identify gaps, duplication, trade-offs, and margin risk before development and sourcing commit cost. It is used by companies including New Balance, Vera Bradley, Converse, and Kizik. Founder and CEO Brian Lindauer said the funding will support deeper product investment, integrations, and team expansion, helping brands preserve the reasoning behind product decisions as AI accelerates concept and asset creation. Volition Capital's managing partner praised VibeIQ as a category-defining platform addressing mission-critical challenges for customers. Venture Guides also expressed confidence in the team and the market opportunity ahead.
