Simplifyber, a New York-based material innovation startup, has raised Series A funding to advance its groundbreaking approach to sustainable garment production. The company develops fully biodegradable, molded garments using liquid cellulose derived from wood pulp—bypassing traditional cut-and-sew processes entirely.
The funding round, led by At One Ventures with participation from H&M Group Ventures and Techstars, underscores growing investor confidence in next-gen textile solutions. Simplifyber plans to use the capital to scale its proprietary fiber-molding technology, expand its production capacity, and enter new market segments.
Unlike conventional garments, Simplifyber’s products are formed in three-dimensional molds, reducing material waste by up to 60% and eliminating microplastic shedding. The materials are compostable at end-of-life and consume significantly less water than cotton or synthetic blends.
