On the heels of unspun™'s recently announced deal to install their Vega 3D weaving machines at Walmart locations, more big news: unspun has closed a $32 million series B led by DCVC. unspun is on a mission to localize and onshore apparel production, as well as reduce waste in clothing manufacture and ultimately decarbonize garment making. “Many brands are now forced to consider local manufacturing,” Rachel Slaybaugh, a DCVC GP, told Fast Company. “And Unspun makes their operations more efficient and cost-effective.” SOSV is very proud that unspun started out at our HAX hard tech startup program, and we have joined every investment round since. We're also delighted that VCs Lowercarbon Capital, E12, and Decathalon joined the series B 👏 . Here's to Beth Esponnette, Kevin Martin, and Walden Lam - three standout founders in the incredibly challenging world of climate hard tech. 🥂 https://lnkd.in/dFeFD_Uw
