INNOVATOR 2021 — Beyond Form

About the Innovator
Beyond Form is a venture studio building impact-driven fashion technologies. We believe that the future of the fashion industry requires a more sustainable and innovative approach. To solve this, we partner with changemaking founders & corporates to build, fund, and scale fashion tech startups worldwide.
Based inside our fashion tech lab in Paris, we work across the entire fashion value chain to uncover challenges that can be solved by disruptive technologies. Challenges dealt with include over-production & consumption, unused products and fragmented supply chains, which are all major issues for brands and consumers alike.
We are building B2B and B2C companies that vary from digital & 3D fashion solutions, AI powered analytics, through to end-of-life & re-commerce platforms. High impact-potential is a core value and a must for every startup that we spin out. Beyond Form’s approach is operationally hands-on with every startup team by plugging them into our existing resources, ecosystem and fashion industry know-how that can’t be found elsewhere.
This focus allows us to bring solutions to market at speed and with agility, which provides founders and corporates a non-traditional method of starting up. Thus, de-risking innovation whilst building bigger value and better returns for our stakeholders. For more details, please check http://www.beyondform.io
