From the red carpet of the Met Gala to the cutting edge of fashion technology, Nigerian-American entrepreneur John Imah (@iamjohnimah) is capturing the world’s attention—and transforming how we shop.
The Houston-born, Lagos-raised founder of SpreeAI, a groundbreaking fashion-tech startup, has taken the industry by storm. In less than three years, SpreeAI has raised nearly $100 million in venture funding and skyrocketed to a $1.5 billion valuation, firmly establishing itself as a major player in the world of AI-driven retail.
At the core of SpreeAI’s innovation is a deceptively simple idea with powerful technology: shoppers become the model. Using SpreeAI, users can see themselves trying on outfits in photorealistic detail, with AI-powered tools that detect their perfect clothing size with 99% accuracy—a game-changer for online fashion.
Whether it’s luxury couture or everyday wear, customers can visualize the fit, fall, and style of any item on their own body type, eliminating guesswork and dramatically reducing returns. The platform is also earning praise from sustainability advocates for reducing fashion waste.
“We’re not just changing how people shop,” John Imah said in a recent interview. “We’re changing how people feel about shopping—empowered, confident, and seen.”
One of the boldest moves by Imah? Inviting his close friend and global fashion icon Naomi Campbell (@naomi) to join SpreeAI as a board member.
“Naomi has always been at the forefront of fashion and culture. Her vision and voice are invaluable as we build a future where fashion is inclusive, tech-forward, and deeply personal,” said Imah.
Campbell’s influence adds star power and strategic depth to a company that already boasts research partnerships with MIT and Carnegie Mellon University, where SpreeAI’s proprietary algorithms are being refined to push the limits of personalization and visual realism.
John Imah’s journey is one of relentless innovation and ambition. A former executive at Amazon and Samsung, he now stands at the intersection of fashion, artificial intelligence, and cultural influence. And judging by the buzz around SpreeAI’s upcoming expansion into footwear, cosmetics, and even digital avatars, this is only the beginning.
“Fashion is personal. It should feel like it was made for you,” says Imah. “SpreeAI brings that dream to life.”
From Met Gala appearances to Silicon Valley boardrooms, Imah is not just a tech founder—he’s a cultural architect, redefining how we see ourselves in the mirror and on our screens.
