Global Manufacturing, Simplified

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

We built a platform that manages the entire fashion supply chain - sourcing, manufacturing, and logistics. Our product helps brands avoid manufacturing delays and mistakes by coordinating with a consortium of vetted factories that guarantee quality and ethical standards. It lets customers focus on building their brand instead of managing complex overseas production.

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

We live in San Mateo, CA, and plan to base the company there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Mateo is where we live and close to the Bay Area network and talent. Being here helps us work directly with manufacturers and logistics partners, and stay close to potential customers and investors.
