WOVN was built from scratch in our Venture Studio, by co-founders Julia Brucher and Lindsay Trombley.
Whilst in the Studio, WOVN pivoted from a platform enabling influencers to create their own fashion collections to a demand prediction model for brands, on a mission to help brands increase sell through and reduce waste.
Since launch, WOVN have partnered with brands including Triumph, In the Frow and Little Dots and are now working with M&S on another pilot to test their new range. WOVN also hired a top grad from M&S as a secondee for nine months to support business development. With these successes under their belt, Julia and Lindsay are looking to expand to the US and beyond.
