Smartex.ai: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Smartex addresses key issues affecting the world's textile supply chain. Our AI-based solutions are removing waste from the textile production process at its source. Together, we use specialized hardware, vision software, and machine learning algorithms to detect all textile flaws, improve manufacturing efficiency, worker safety, transparency, and time efficiency, as well as to cut down on sunk costs, CO2 emissions, water waste, and much more. Smartex outperforms the present product inspection methods, which are mostly manufactured by employees staring at textiles all day, and decreases defective output to almost 0% while also offering quality control software. Who would even do that? Our team is committed to bringing the Industry 40 Revolution to the textile industry and supplying this US$3 trillion industry with cutting-edge technology.

About FundedIQ's Smartex.ai Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Smartex.ai is left off this page rather than filled in.
