The Fund Betting That Fashion Gets Fixed in the Factory, Not the Storefront
Karla Mora and Leslie Harwell don't fund T-shirts. They fund the recycling plants, the potato-waste cotton, and the software that reroutes a supply chain - the plumbing every brand quietly runs on.
Everywhere Apparel
Everywhere Apparel is a Los Angeles-based materials science company that turns textile waste into 100% recycled cotton clothing through its proprietary, GRS-certified CirCot fiber system. Founded in 2019 by three Stanford graduates, it sells blank and custom apparel to brands, bands, screen printers and uniform programs, and closes the loop with a free QR-code take-back program that recycles worn garments back into new products.
Trashie
Trashie is a recycling and rewards platform that makes responsible disposal of clothing, textiles, and electronics frictionless. Customers buy a Take Back Bag, fill it with unwanted items in almost any condition, mail it back, and earn TrashieCash redeemable for rewards at hundreds of brands. Built by the team behind zero-waste fashion brand For Days, Trashie turns the chore of recycling into a rewarded habit while diverting millions of pounds of waste from landfills.
