Company
Fabricly
Online marketplace for apparel sourcing
We built an online marketplace that connects apparel brands, independent designers, and retailers to manufacturers and material suppliers. The platform helps users research manufacturers and quickly send out bids for sourcing jobs, reducing the risk and friction of finding the right apparel manufacturing partners.
We currently live in New York, NY, and after YC the company would remain based here.
New York is a hub for fashion and retail companies, which gives us direct access to our target customers - brands and designers who need apparel manufacturing. Staying here keeps us close to them and the industry we serve.
