About The Company

Naya was co-founded by Vivek and Saad at Harvard after over a decade of navigating the complexities of the design process in real-world scenarios. With robust backing from some of the world's leading investors, Naya has developed an innovative platform that consolidates the entire digital workflow into a single, unified environment. This platform serves as a central hub where brainstorms, 2D drawings, 3D models, spreadsheets, presentations, videos, and over 150 different integrations and file types coexist, enabling seamless collaboration, organization, sharing, and presentation of design assets.

By bringing the entire design journey into one accessible space, Naya AI empowers teams to enhance creativity and efficiency. The platform allows users to generate 2D concepts, 3D models, and presentations, fostering greater innovation at the front end of the design process. Simultaneously, it provides insights related to estimation, manufacturing, and value engineering, which contribute to saving time and reducing costs in the back end. This unified approach accelerates design iterations, improves collaboration, and drives innovation for leading brands such as Google, MillerKnoll, and Adidas.
