unspun develops automated 3D weaving technology and circular platforms for apparel manufacturing. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Emeryville, California, the company has raised $32 million in Series B funding led by Lowercarbon Capital, following a $14 million Series A round.
The company's core product, Vega™, transforms yarn directly into finished garments in minutes, eliminating the traditional flat 2D fabric production stage. According to commissioned life cycle assessments, Vega™ reduces global warming potential by 53%, primary energy demand by 49%, and blue water consumption by 39% compared to conventional manufacturing. The technology is designed to enable fast, localized production while reducing waste in a supply chain that currently contributes roughly 10% of global carbon emissions annually.
unspun has partnered with fashion brands including Eckhaus Latta for New York Fashion Week and with Walmart on a 3D fabric weaving pilot project. The company holds B Corp™ certification and operates with an explicit mission to reduce global human carbon emissions by 1%. Its technical expertise spans automated 3D weaving, textile recycling, life cycle assessment, and sustainable manufacturing automation.
