Skyscrape의 사업 내용

Skyscrape makes temperature responsive fabrics for a new type of clothing. These fabrics literally change shape in response to a change in temperature: the fabrics become thicker and insulate more as the temperature drops, and they become thinner and insulate less as the temperature rises again. This "intelligent insulation" has no wires or sensors, and the fabric's shape-changing behavior comes from a natural materials response. Skyscrape’s fabrics offer expanded thermal comfort across a wider temperature range than conventional clothing. Creating textiles that could change shape with changing temperatures required years of laboratory work by an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, designers, and weavers, designing and refining machines and processes to make yarns and fabrics that could adapt to the environment. Skyscrape's first market entry was with Ralph Lauren in the 2022 Team USA Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony.

Skyscrape

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Temperature-responsive insulation fabric

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

We make fabrics that change thickness and insulation based on temperature. As it gets colder, the fabric thickens to keep you warm; as it warms, it thins to keep you comfortable. This happens naturally in the material itself, without sensors or wires.

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

We live in Portland, OR, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Portland has the manufacturing and textile expertise we rely on. It's where our founders live and where we can best develop and produce our fabrics.
