Escargot raised $2.75M seed funding to revive physical greeting cards for Gen Z using AI-powered personalization. The startup leverages Google's Gemini for art remixing and reminders, positioning AI as a behind-the-scenes enabler rather than the main product. This taps into a 2026 "digital detox" trend where 84% of Gen Z seeks authentic connections beyond algorithms. With the market projected to reach $5.8B by 2033, investors are betting on startups that bridge digital convenience with physical authenticity.
