Decarbonizing the fashion industry

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build the first Carbon Management Platform specifically for apparel and footwear companies. Our product helps fashion brands measure, analyze, and reduce their carbon footprint across their supply chains. It's a SaaS tool that collects data from multiple tiers of suppliers and translates it into actionable insights for sustainability teams.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in Paris, Île-de-France, France, and plan for the company to remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Paris is the center of European fashion and sustainability initiatives. Being here connects us directly with our early customers and partners in the apparel industry, which is critical to building the right product.
