The New York Fashion Tech Lab facilitates partnerships between growth-stage, highly scalable tech companies and global brands and retailers. The program was co-founded by Springboard Enterprises and key fashion retailers to support women-led companies that have developed innovations at the intersection of fashion, retail, and technology.

The New York Fashion Tech Lab program takes place March-June. Through a competitive selection process, we select six to ten women-led companies to enter the program, who receive:

Coaching and collaboration with participating fashion retailers, venture capitalists, and the Lab’s Expert Network.
Access to senior leaders at fashion retailers for product feedback and potential deployment of proofs of concept.

Meetings with senior business executives, investors, and experienced entrepreneurs.
Workshops and panel discussions on issues relevant to fashion technology companies, such as data optimization, proofs of concept, technology architecture and scalability, privacy, security, and broader industry trends.
