About The Company
Naya was co-founded by Vivek and Saad at Harvard after 10+ years of real-world struggle in coordinating the chaos of the design process. Backed by some of the world’s best investors, they developed a platform which brings the entire digital workflow into one home. A place where brainstorms, 2D drawings, 3D models, spreadsheets, presentations, videos, and 150+ integrations/file types can co-exist, be collaborated on, organised, shared, and presented.
With the design journey in one home, Naya AI empowers teams to 1) generate 2D concepts, 3D models, and presentations, which enable greater creativity in the front end of the design process, and 2) create insights related to estimation, manufacturing, and value engineering, which help save time and cost in the back end of the design process. With a unified design home, creative teams at Google, MillerKnoll, and Adidas are moving more quickly through design iterations, collaborating more effectively, and driving greater innovation and delight for their customers.
