Nilo has raised $4 million in seed funding to scale its AI-native 3D creation platform. The round was led by Supercell, with participation from a16z speedrun, Kfund, and others. Angel investors include veterans from gaming, venture, and creative tech.

Designed for the generation that grew up in games-as-social-spaces, Nilo lets users generate characters, environments, and code using natural language, drawings, or speech. It’s fully browser-based and supports real-time multiplayer collaboration across desktop, mobile, Discord, and Telegram.

The founding team includes talent from Fortnite, Twitch, YouTube, Snapchat, Microsoft, and major VFX projects like Avatar and Star Wars. According to the company, their goal is to make 3D creation feel as intuitive as posting a meme, instantly playable, collaborative, and accessible to everyone. The platform is now available to select users in closed early access.

🌀 Tom’s Take:

Gen Alpha has grown up in virtual worlds, and making creative tools feel playful, instant, and accessible is a winning recipe. Tapping into this behavior with AI-native 3D creation is a smart, timely move.
