Singapore-based multi-single-family office Kamet Capital has led an $8.5 million Series A funding round in AI startup TopView.ai, which creates digital humans for e-commerce product demonstrations, according to an announcement.
The funding round was exclusively supported by the Singapore-headquartered multi-single-family office, which also provided incubation support and office space during the company’s early stages.
Founded in 2024, TopView enables brands to generate lifelike product videos and images using AI avatars that can simulate physical interaction with items, removing the need for traditional filming, actors, or influencers.
The platform’s newest tools, including Product Avatar and AnyShoot 2.0, can generate video content from a single product image, allowing avatars to catch, hold, and demonstrate products in real time.
The startup was co-founded by Jensen Wu and Albert Chen, both former employees of a major Asian technology company. Wu is part of Singapore’s Economic Development Board Global Founder Programme.
“We’re entering a new era where AI avatars can now act, present, and connect like real humans on behalf of brands,” Wu said. “Our technology aims to reshape the boundaries of digital commerce by turning product pages into rich, interactive experiences.”
TopView has reported more than 50% month-over-month recurring revenue growth since the release of its latest version. The company counts L’Oréal, ANTA, and Anker among its clients and was recently featured in a16z’s thesis on AI avatars.
Singapore serves as TopView’s global headquarters, backed by government initiatives such as IMDA’s Spark programme and EDB’s Global Founder Programme.
Kerry Goh, founder and CEO of Kamet Capital, said the investment reflects the firm’s strategy to back “visionary founders with disruptive ideas capable of reshaping industries.”
“TopView represents not only a rare AI investment opportunity from Asia but also exemplifies our ability to leverage Kamet’s deep Founders Network to source, support, and scale emerging leaders in high-growth sectors,” Goh said.
Kamet Capital, founded in 2017, serves ultra-high-net-worth families and individuals across Asia, with investment management, wealth planning, and other services.
The firm operates a Founders Network to connect portfolio companies with potential investors and business partners.
The firm closed its first closed-end fund, Founders Fund I, in 2024 at $70 million. Kamet Capital’s other portfolio companies include Singapore-based supply chain technology startup Tramés, big data company Advance.AI, logistics startups Flash Express and J&T Express, Singapore telehealth firm Doctor Anywhere, and Chinese new retail company KK Group.
