Unspun Bolsters Board with Athleta Exec, Attracts Major Brands
Unspun, a pioneering US fashion-tech company, has fortified its board with the appointment of Chris Blakeslee. The former Athleta executive brings nearly 15 years of apparel leadership experience to the team. Meanwhile, Unspun's innovative 3D weaving technology, Vega, continues to attract major brands like Walmart and Decathlon.
Unspun's state-of-the-art technology, Vega, can transform yarn into garments in mere minutes. This revolutionary process enables on-demand, localized manufacturing, reducing waste and expediting the production process. Blakeslee, who joins as the first independent board member, believes this technology can significantly lower costs and mitigate supply chain risks.
Last year, Unspun secured $32 million in a Series B funding round, led by Eniac Ventures. This investment, which surpassed the initial target, will support Unspun's expansion plans in North America and Europe. The company aims to rapidly scale its operations, thanks in part to Blakeslee's expertise in apparel leadership and strategy.
With Blakeslee's appointment and the continued backing of investors like Eniac Ventures, Unspun is well-positioned to revolutionize the fashion industry. Its partnerships with major brands and innovative 3D weaving technology promise a future of faster, more sustainable garment production.
