Nimbly
Founded by Mariano deGuzman (Harvard, World Bank), Kevin Sladek (SAY Media, Yale), and founding advisor Theodore Lauzen (UPenn Law and Wharton MBA), Nimbly provides a solution to inefficient knitwear supply chains by providing an on-demand, 3D-knitting platform. There are no order minimums, and Nimbly can produce standard and custom fit knit products in less than an hour, all in the USA. On demand production reduces inventory costs, lead times, and ultimately improves the bottom line. “For those with big ideas to transform the face of fashion and retail, XRC is a place for us disrupters to rapidly go from dreaming to planning, executing and deal closing in a short 14 weeks,” deGuzman said of the program. This is a big idea attacking a big market – $1.3B in the US alone according to IndexBox.
