Spooler, Inc. is a fashion technology company that has developed a platform for creating personalized clothing through real-time design collaboration and production tools. Founded in 2016 by Benjamen Janey, an apparel industry pioneer with a background in design and commerce technology, the company aims to empower people to control what they wear. Janey's initial concept of customizing apparel for celebrities and tourists on Venice Beach has since expanded internationally, leading to collaborations with major brands like Nike and Jordan Brand. The executive team includes Chief Product Officer Erin Patton, who has extensive brand management experience with Nike and Converse; Head of Technology Shayandev Sinha, a data scientist from Intel's Logic Technology Development group; and Chief Sales Officer Ivory Sully, a former NFL player and VP at Pelle Pelle Jeans.
The company's platform provides an integrated solution for brands and designers, offering services such as design voting, custom catalog ordering, and global digital printing fulfillment. This streamlines the creation and distribution process, allowing clients to launch custom fashion lines, involve their audience in design decisions, minimize inventory risk, and scale production efficiently. Spooler serves a range of clients, from large corporations seeking branded apparel to startups and fashion designers needing sample production. Its business model encompasses mobile apps, e-commerce, and wholesale distribution channels, supported by a network of global digital printing partners. The company also offers brand consultancy, creative design services, and technology integration to help clients succeed in the marketplace. Spooler has received backing from investors including Capital Factory, Clearco, PayPal Holdings, and Shopify, and has raised $275K through equity crowdfunding.
