A b2b startup to reduce the environmental impact of the fashion and apparel industry. Founded by a Gallatin Alum, we’re developing a modular software system as a tool for sustainability teams to save time and recommend practical solutions for impact reduction. Our system leverages RFID e-thread technology to compile data points along a garment’s lifespan and create accurate and verifiable reports and recommendations.
We were recently finalists in the London Clean Tech Challenge, the MIT Climate and Energy Prize, and the Yale Innovation Summit. We’re currently part of the Venture Well Propel Accelerator and Climate Haven. Come join the early days of our growing team!
