"I need to be in that." That's the first thing I thought when I saw Melengo present at a demo day last October.
Well, I just made it happen!
Melengo makes it easy to develop an apparel line, get financing, and get the products made. You can go from a basic sketch to a beautiful piece of clothing in just a few weeks!
Today, people wade through random factories on Alibaba and hope for the best. The process often takes 6+ months.
In my research for this investment, I went on Alibaba myself and looked at hoodies. One called "cotton" in the description turned out to really be a "cotton/polyester" blend. Ahh, the old bait and switch.
Who wouldn't prefer Melengo to this?
Founder Justin Kwong is approaching a giant market in a really innovative way. His intense focus on the problem and the strength of Melengo's traction really stood out to me.
Justin's long term plan is to make the Uber of manufacturing. Making a product should be as easy as getting a ride – and not just for clothing.
An ambitious vision with real traction today – that's the kind of company I want to back. Check out Melengo and make some awesome products!
Have a great weekend everybody!
