Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
Fashion is one of the biggest categories of spending globally, so there is a huge benefit for fashion companies to spot trends and produce the right items at the right time. EDITED saw that there was a lack of data to back up decision making in the fashion industry, when a lot of other, smaller industries were already making good use of it.
EDITED was one of the first companies to bring analytics to the fashion space, with the co-founders bringing two key ingredients to the table with fashion and data expertise.. It now has a strong brand and a huge roster of well known clients from John Lewis to Tommy Hilfiger.
The company recently raised significant funding from Delta-v Capital, which came on the heels of serious momentum. This capital will be invested into accelerating product development, investing in partnerships, and M&A to expand its value proposition to customers.
