Cela Wins 2nd Prize at 2025 Homevalley Global Entrepreneurs Competition

We’re excited to announce that Cela has been awarded 2nd place at the prestigious 2025 Homevalley Global Entrepreneurs Competition (West North America Chapter), held this year in Vancouver. This honor comes after a highly competitive showcase featuring over 50 startups from across the region - each bringing bold ideas, cutting-edge technologies, and transformative visions.

Our presentation featured a live product demo of Cela’s immersive 3D configurator experience, which allowed the audience and judges to interact with a high-fidelity digital product in real time.

We showecased live client projects and experiences created via Sini3D AI for 👟 Any7, 🎲 Gulliver Travelmate and 🏕️ AirNEST Tent. 

What set Cela apart - and captured the judges' attention - was not only the sleek and engaging visual interface but the powerful AI-driven backend that enables it.

Powering Retail Transformation Through AI and 3D

At Cela, we’re building more than beautiful visuals - we’re creating a platform that redefines how retailers build and deploy interactive experiences.

Traditionally, developing 3D configurators is expensive and time-consuming. But our solution integrates AI technology that drastically reduces setup time and cost for brands. With Cela, retailers can:

- Automatically generate 3D product configurations using AI-assisted tools

- Modify product visuals, options, or variants simply by conversing with the platform - no coding or technical expertise required

- Launch fully interactive, web-based configurators that improve conversion rates and customer engagement

Our AI acts as a smart assistant, helping teams build, edit, and scale their digital experiences - all through natural language interaction. Whether you’re showcasing a modular sofa, a drone, or a wearable, Cela makes customization seamless and intuitive.

Recognition that Fuels Momentum

Winning 2nd place at Homevalley is a proud milestone for our team. It validates the technical work we've been doing behind the scenes, as well as the larger vision of enabling more human-centered, intelligent, and cost-effective product experiences for e-commerce and enterprise platforms alike.

We’re grateful to the Homevalley team, the judging panel, and the broader entrepreneurial community for recognizing the value Cela brings to the future of digital retail. It was inspiring to present alongside so many talented innovators working to shape tomorrow’s world.

What’s Next?

We're continuing to expand our feature set, refine our AI tooling, and collaborate with forward-thinking brands looking to transform their online presence. If you’re a retailer, designer, or creative technologist - we’d love to hear from you.
