Mariam Naficy is the Co-Founder and CEO of Arcade (arcade.ai), the world's first AI product creation platform that enables anyone to design, purchase, and sell custom physical products using a simple text or image prompt.

A Stanford GSB alumna and serial entrepreneur with over two decades of experience, Naficy co-founded Eve.com in 1998, one of the first online cosmetics retailers, which she sold to LVMH before the dot-com bubble burst.

Recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the 100 Women Building America's Most Innovative and Ambitious Businesses, Naficy is widely regarded as a pioneer of the creator economy and crowdsourcing commerce.

Prior to Arcade, she founded Minted in 2007, scaling it into a several-hundred-million-dollar marketplace supporting around 20,000 artists globally, and also served as VP and General Manager at The Body Shop International.

Arcade raised $42M in total funding including a $25M Series A, and within just three months of its beta launch in September 2024, users created over 650,000 jewelry designs, making it the largest jewelry assortment in the world.
