What Dabble does
Dabble is a virtual photo studio for e-commerce powered by hyper-realistic CGI and computer vision. The demand for content in retail is skyrocketing due to the pandemic induced surge in online shopping, but product photography is still extremely slow, tedious and expensive. We’re building a platform to scale and automate product photography for every e-commerce brand.

Company
Dabble
A synthetic photo studio for e-commerce
We are building a platform that automates product photography for e-commerce brands using hyper-realistic CGI combined with computer vision. Instead of traditional photo shoots, brands upload product data and get diverse, professional images generated virtually at scale, speeding up content creation and cutting costs.
We live in Toronto, ON, Canada, and work remotely. After YC, we would continue to be based in Toronto with a distributed team.
Toronto is home to all three of us and has a growing tech scene. Remote work lets us collaborate efficiently without relocating, and we can access talent here while keeping costs manageable.
