O que Vastrm faz

Vastrm Fashion™ (pronounced vas' trum) Vastrm was started to solve a basic problem: Shirts that don’t fit well! Mass produced shirts were meant to accommodate a wide variety of body types with one standard size, and different brands have different sizing standards, making shopping difficult--many men must shop in 4 - 5 different stores before finding a shirt that actually fits! By providing a home try on program and giving the ability to make custom fit adjustments to all of their apparel, Vastrm allows its customers to finally hone in on and find the perfect fit for their unique body types. Tang came up with the idea for Vastrm, which is a Sanskrit word for cloth, when a customer told him he had purchased a perfect shirt in Italy and has never been able to find the same fit again. He was considering flying back to Italy to track the shirt maker down, but Jonathan managed to adjust Vastrm shirts to the same fit.

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

We make custom fit activewear shirts that address the problem of inconsistent sizing in mass-produced apparel. Our customers use our home try-on program to adjust and order shirts tailored to their unique body measurements, so they no longer have to shop at multiple stores to find a good fit.

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

We live in Burlingame, CA and the company would be based there after YC, with some team members working remotely.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Burlingame is home for us and close to manufacturing partners and logistics hubs. Remote work allows flexibility while keeping the core team in the Bay Area for operations and growth.
