Description
Refashiond Ventures (often branded REFASHIOND Ventures or REFASHIOND Seed) is a New York City–based early-stage venture capital firm and rolling fund focused on investing in early-stage technology startups that are refashioning global supply chains. The firm uses a rolling fund structure (via AngelList) to support pre-seed and seed companies in supply chain tech, advanced manufacturing, data/AI platforms, materials innovation, and logistics.
Pre-Seed / Seed: Core thesis; primarily invests in early pre-seed and seed rounds.
Series A: Occasional participation via follow-on syndication (not typically a lead).
Typical Check Size: ~$25,000 to $750,000 per company, depending on deal and fund commitments.
Typical Ownership Taken: ~1%–5% equity at entry is a reasonable expectation for a seed/pre-seed institutional investor deploying checks in this range (especially when not leading) — consistent with early institutional norms.
Equity Structure: Priced equity or standard early-stage instruments (e.g., SAFE) consistent with seed rounds.
Board/Governance: As a minority investor, Refashiond typically does not take board control; involvement is strategic and supportive, not governance control.
Submission Method: Founders can submit via the Refashiond Ventures pitch portal. Rolling fund structure also allows ongoing deal flow through networks like The Worldwide Supply Chain Federation.
Lead Requirement: The fund does not lead deals generally, instead co-investing alongside lead investors or syndicating into rounds.
Rolling Review: Investments are evaluated on a rolling basis aligned with the rolling fund model.
