Hey Savi, the pioneering fashion search and recommendation platform, has announced a significant milestone with a £2.2 million investment to enhance its AI-driven shopping experience. Founded by Victoria Peppiatt, Angela Vinci, and Sarah Daniel, Hey Savi stands out as the second-ever fully female-founded UK technology company to secure over £2 million at the Pre-Seed stage.
Hey Savi utilizes advanced artificial intelligence alongside comprehensive customer and fashion data to simplify the online shopping experience. This innovative approach allows users to locate their perfect fashion item in under 60 seconds, connecting them directly to retailers offering the item in stock, in their size, and at the best available price.
According to Angela Vinci, co-founder and CPTO at Hey Savi, traditional search engines prioritize paid advertising over delivering relevant results, making the current search experience outdated for today’s dynamic fashion landscape. “We are committed to creating an exceptional customer experience that builds confidence in their fashion choices,” Vinci stated.
Victoria Peppiatt, co-founder and co-CEO of Hey Savi, expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support from investors, highlighting the endorsement from prominent names in the industry such as Boardwave, Founders Capital, and the WITSEND community. “The response to our funding round has been phenomenal,” Peppiatt remarked. “It underscores the immense potential of our product and reaffirms the market opportunity we’re addressing.”
Hey Savi has garnered attention not only for its innovative technology but also for its commitment to diversity in investment, with 54% of its investors being female—a testament to its inclusive approach in a traditionally male-dominated sector.
Supported by an esteemed advisory board including Gareth Jones, Chief Marketing Officer at Sotheby’s, Robin Sutara, Chief Data Officer at Databricks, and Richard Goold, Partner at Wilson Sonsini, Hey Savi is poised to redefine the future of fashion e-commerce.
