TABLE OF CONTENTS

Supply chains around the world face a number of difficult
and entrenched challenges: Geopolitical Hostilities; The
Climate Crisis; Population Growth & Consumer Behavior.
The daily drumbeat of news paints a depressing picture.
But, there’s a small, committed, tenacious, tireless, and
obsessive group of builders, optimists, enthusiasts, rule-
breakers, outsiders, and trouble-makers willing the
supply chain networks, platforms, and ecosystems of our
future into existence; refashioning them to be better for
people, planet, and profits.
THE FUTURE OF GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS
HAS NEVER LOOKED MORE PROMISING
THESE ARE THEIR STORIES.

GILDFORM
ON-DEMAND JEWELRY DESIGN & MANUFACTURING PLATFORM
DATA & DECISION ANALYTICS, ADVANCED MANUFACTURING
Gildform is developing an online jewelry design and production platform
to make on-demand manufacturing of fine jewelry a reality. The
platform enables ideation, technical design, and production using 3D
printing, and fulfillment.
Various industries are seeking new approaches to manufacturing that
match supply with actual demand rather than forecasts of demand. This
is what on-demand manufacturing in small batches makes possible.
Given her background in jewelry design and manufacturing, Karissma
and the team at Gildform have developed an on-demand manufacturing
platform for jewelry designers and brands - from concept to retail-ready
finished product in a fraction of the time it traditionally takes incumbents
to bring new products to market, all while creating jobs in Detroit.

"Panelists also noted the impact that Industry 4.0
technologies can have on a company’s carbon footprint.
One panelist said that just by using “virtual twin”
technology to lay out factory machines for maximum
efficiency, a production center was able to cut its energy
use by 30 percent."
Gildform wins both the Growth
Company Competition $10,000 and
the People's Choice Award $5,000

Gildform produced earrings
and septum jewelry for
Marvel's Wakanda Forever!

SUNTHETICS
ACCELERATING CHEMISTRY INNOVATION THROUGH AI & ML
DATA & DECISION ANALYTICS
Sunthetics has built an easy-to-use machine learning tool that
accelerates the discovery, development, and optimization of
formulations, processes, and products in the chemicals industry.
Sunthetics ML weds chemical engineering and predictive ML algorithms
in order to help human experts quickly predict the formulations and
process constraints that will most likely yield desired outcomes.
As much as 96% of all manufactured goods are directly touched by the
business of chemistry. There’s a growing need for more efficient and
sustainable ways of formulating new products based on chemistry.
Increasing geopolitical tensions, and regulations propelled by ESG
consideration due to the Climate Crisis serve as catalysts for startups
like Sunthetics.

Daniela Blanco obtained her Ph.D. in Chemical
Engineering from NYU and is the co-founder and
CEO of Sunthetics. At Sunthetics, she develops
ground-breaking machine-learning platforms that
accelerate the development and implementation
of sustainable chemical processes. Daniela has
been named Forbes 30 Under 30 in Energy North
America, Top Innovator Under 35 in Latin America
by MIT Technology Review, Top Female Founder
by Inc Magazine, Top Graduate Inventor by
Lemelson-MIT, Global Student Entrepreneur
Champion, and Brightest AI-CI Mind by the MIT
Center for Collective Intelligence. Due to her
vision of building a more sustainable chemical
industry, she has been invited to speak at the
2019 International Entrepreneurial Summit for the
Sustainable Development Goals at the United
Nations.
IF AI SHAPES OUR FUTURE,
WHO SHAPES AI?

Q4 2022
signed pilot with top 10 pharma company

After inventing a greener way to manufacture
nylon and winning several student pitch
competitions, Daniela Blanco realized investors
were more interested in the artificial intelligence
(AI) technology she'd developed that led to her
discovery. She then pivoted her company to focus
on creating AI tools to help others across the
chemical industry operate more sustainably.
"I myself am an immigrant. I
didn't necessarily have a
safety net of, you know, a lot
of money or savings. I started
the company knowing that I
needed a salary."
A SUSTAINABLE PIVOT
Daniela

WISY
RETAIL INTELLIGENCE THAT WORKS EVERYWHERE
Wisy is developing a machine learning and artificial intelligence platform
to enable intelligent operations in CPG retail.
Inventory Distortion in retail is a global problem that costs the industry
more than a trillion dollars in lost revenues, product waste and spoilage.
The problem is particularly acute in CPG Retail. These companies have a
large physical footprint and rely heavily on manual processes. Even
though many of them are global companies, they must be flexible
enough to accommodate consumers in every country. Wisy's
breakthrough image recognition technology dramatically lowers the bar
to adoption by CPG companies and retailers to run smarter operations
with granular analytics based on a real-time view of each category and
SKU at every store.

"Finding investors who share our vision to
solve a global problem is wonderful, but
finding investors who know the space
deeply and are driven like us is remarkable.”

DENIM
ALL-IN-ONE FINANCIAL PLATFORM FOR FREIGHT BROKERS
DATA & DECISION ANALYTICS, NEXT GEN-LOGISTICS
Denim is building the digital platform infrastructure for supply chain
finance in domestic freight transportation and logistics, with plans to
eventually expand globally. By reducing the friction in payments within
freight logistics, Denim empowers logistics intermediaries and service
providers, as well as carriers to invest in growth and profitability rather
than trying to manage working capital from one payment cycle to the
next.
The trucking industry is plagued by payment processes that are
outdated and rife with delays and unnecessary complications. There’s a
significant opportunity for a new entrant that makes it easier for logistics
service providers to manage payments, along with streamlining related
back-office processes and operations.

REFASHIOND Ventures'
participated in Axle
Payments' Series B; The
company raised $26M in
Equity, $100M in
Venture Debt, changed
its name to Denim.

ARCSTONE
INTEGRATED, REAL-TIME DATA POWERING
VISIBILITY IN MANUFACTURING
Arcstone has built a platform that connects factory shop floors with
global manufacturing supply chains. The platform's features and tool
sets provide large US manufacturing brands full traceability and visibility
over their suppliers down to raw materials, manufacturing, and real-time
global factory operations.
With geopolitical tensions increasing, and given the disruptions that
occured during COVID19, we believe that platforms like Arcstone's will
become increasingly important over time as large manufacturers seek
greater visibility, flexibility, and control over their global operations
through every tier of their supply chain relationships.

"I am giddy with optimism after a briefing with
Arcstone Digital Manufacturing. Finally, end-
to-end supply chain visibility for compliance
and sustainability assurance appears possible."
Julie Fraser
Vice President Research on Manufacturing
and Operations, Tech-Clarity, Inc.
SAMPLING OF CURRENT CUSTOMERS

The Gartner report supports the need
for "digitalization — a necessity for
improving visibility and transparency into
manufacturing operations that improves
an organization’s ability to respond to
external threats and unforeseen events
with speed and accuracy."

200+ factory deployments in
6 countries across 4 industries
“The REFASHIOND Team has the deep technical
expertise to help Arcstone with relevant industry
experience and guidance across product development,
sales channel enablement and industry partnership
connections to help us thrive in a new market.”
Willson

SIMPLIFYBER
Simplifyber is developing a sustainable, additive manufacturing process
that results in 100% biodegradable clothing, reducing the number of
steps required to create new clothing from 5 to 2, through a proprietary
combination of advanced materials and advanced manufacturing.
As the climate crisis accelerates, companies in legacy industries are
pursuing strategies and innovations to decarbonize their supply chains
and operations. This is creating a large and growing opportunity for
innovations in advanced manufacturing and advanced materials in the
fashion and apparel industry because of its manufacturing intensity, its
contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, its energy consumption, and
its contribution to global water consumption and pollution.

“What we love about REFASHIOND is that they are
specialists in supply chain AND fashion - and they are
one phone call away from so many key players in our
industry. They're a perfect fit for us!”

AEROTRAX
Aerotrax is building a platform to modernize supply chain operations in the
aviation and aerospace industries, starting with a focus on maintenance,
repair, and overhaul (MRO) establishments. Currently, MROs do not have a
reliable and secure way to track and monitor parts as those parts move
through the supply chain. This leads to waste, and inefficiencies. It also
poses a safety risk and leads to compliance breakdowns that can lead to
significant fines from the FAA and lost revenues.
MRO is a critical part of the aviation and aerospace industry verticals. The
lack of an easy to use platform like Aerotrax has been a perennial problem
in the industry, but it has become more of an issue due to several high-
profile general and public aviation incidents and crashes over the recent
past, including those involving Boeing's 737 line of aircraft.
AIRCRAFT PARTS SUPPLY CHAIN VISIBILITY & COLLABORATION

"We operate a fast-growing fleet of aircraft, and mitigating
Aircraft on Ground (AOG) time is critical. We believe that
Aerotrax supports this KPI by accelerating TAT and being
audit-friendly. Our team is adamant that this is the way we
should execute repair orders moving forward."
Nguyen Van Hoan
Senior Procurement Manager, Bamboo Airways

SHIPDAY
Shipday is building a cloud-enabled local delivery service management
and operations platform; ShipDay allows its users or customers to
programmatically conceptualize, design, manage and operate local
delivery services using its web service APIs and other tools.
Most local businesses cannot operate profitably if they use the delivery
options from UberEats, PostMates, DoorDash and similar services.
There’s a market for software infrastructure that makes it easy for
anyone to create and manage a local delivery service anywhere in the
world without the need to write any code or manage any technology
services themselves. COVID-19 made this even more of a necessity for
many small and medium sized businesses all over the world as they had
to transition to online and delivery during lockdowns.

B2B RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT PLATFORM
FOR BETTER PURCHASE DECISIONS
STIMULUS
Stimulus is building a platform that enables large enterprises to better
manage their supplier and vendor relationships. It empowers its
customers with data and intelligence to enable them make better
purchasing decisions.
Procurement and Sourcing remain relatively manual and labor intensive
areas of supply chain management within large companies. Globally,
public procurement is about $13 Trillion in value. In the private sector
procurement spend as a percentage of revenues can range from 17% in
Financial Services to 60% in Semiconductors. This suggests that there is
a lot of room for value creation through simple digital tools that
significantly increase the effectiveness of corporate procurement and
sourcing teams.

Bringing
Transparency
to Purchasing
Stimulus uses data & analytics to help
companies make better (diverse, equitable,
and inclusionary) purchasing decisions

“There are many reasons I’m excited to have
REFASHIOND Ventures as an investor in Stimulus.
1. Brian and Lisa are awesome people. 2. Their
expertise in supply chain. 3. The NY Supply Chain
Meetup community is amazing, which I can utilize
to obtain customers, partners and more!”
Tiffanie

GREENSCREENS.AI
Greenscreens.ai is building a neutral platform for data aggregation,
market intelligence, and dynamic pricing for the truckload spot rate
market.
The COVID19 pandemic has put problems related to the trucking
industry in the limelight. Specifically, the issue of pricing has become
more salient as supply chains contend with more disruptions. As the
operating environment for trucking becomes more volatile, uncertain,
complex, and ambiguous the need for more highly customizable and
personalizable pricing technology is becoming increasingly difficult for
supply chain intermediaries to ignore. This is a catalyst for startups like
Greenscreens.ai to create customer value by becoming part of the new
data and decision-making infrastructure for traditional industries like
supply chain logistics.
AI-POWERED DYNAMIC PRICING FOR THE LOGISTICS INDUSTRY

“Not only are Brian and Lisa just very cool humans,
they have the perfect blend of knowledge and
experience in scaling up SaaS startups, product
leadership, and supply chain management. We are
very much aligned in our beliefs that more innovation
and collaboration in supply chains are required.”

NATURAL FIBER
WELDING
Natural Fiber Welding has developed new textiles that replace synthetic
materials derived from fossil fuels (plastic) with plant-based alternatives.
Plastic pollution is a growing, global crisis. The fashion and apparel
industry is a large consumer of plastics used in textiles, and is under
increasing regulatory and market pressure to adopt more
environmentally friendly and sustainable materials within its supply
chains. Natural Fiber Welding is ready to scale its technology has a lot of
interest from large, established brands.
BIODEGRADABLE ADVANCED MATERIALS
FROM PLANTS, NOT PLASTIC
ADVANCED MATERIALS, ADVANCED MANUFACTURING

SORTILE
Sortile is developing a platform to enable the sorting of post-consumer
waste textiles and apparel using near infrared spectroscopy to identify
and sort textile fibers by composition. The platform also includes a data
and analytics component that helps Sortile's customers gain more
granular visibility into the composition of the incoming waste stream.
Fiber-to-Fiber recycling is becoming a bigger and bigger issue as the
fashion, apparel, and textiles industry comes to grips with changing
consumer attitudes about the industry's impact on the environment. At
the same time, regulators are introducing laws that demand greater
transparency about the industry's impact on the environment - with
foreign governments much less likely to accept textile waste exported
from the west.
IOT & DATA SOLUTIONS TO ENABLE TEXTILE RECYCLING

Sortile is the missing link,
providing material composition, color
and volumes in a fraction of the time.

“We are thrilled to have REFASHIOND as an investor
in Sortile. Brian and Lisa's energy is simply infectious,
pushing and challenging us to achieve greater things.
Their deep knowledge in supply chain will be crucial
to our continued growth and development.”

ANOVA Intelligence is developing a next generation cyber defense
platform that leverages cutting-edge artificial intelligence, machine
learning and deep learning to find the most dangerous and ellusive
types of cyber threats. The platform automates forensic analysis of
network endpoints for enterprises, with unprecedented speed, scale
and accuracy.

TRUE TO FORM
TrueToForm is developing an object scanning and data management
platform for the creation of digital twins, with initial applications in the
fashion and apparel industry.
It is difficult to obtain individual body measurements of the sort a tailor
or seamstress would take before making an item of clothing for a
shopper. As it becomes easier to make clothing on-demand and post-
purchase, technology-enabled and scalable methods of obtaining
accurate body measurements will increase in value. A mobile-first
object scanning, data collection and management system has wide
application in the creation of digital twins for other types of objects.

OTONOMI
OTONOMI is an insurtech startup that provides parametric insurance
products and a claims management platform for insurance carriers,
insurance brokers, policyholders, and third-party claims administrators -
with an initial focus on freight and cargo logistics.
The COVID-19 Pandemic has caused SMB operators to realize that most
of the time, they have been operating with insufficient insurance to
protect them from supply chain risk. Technology infrastructure now
exists to provide easy to understand, easy to use, and easy to
implement digital insurance products at scale for applications in supply
chain logistics, and other adjacent markets.
AI DRIVEN PARAMETRIC INSURANCE

Otonomi raised an oversubscribed Seed round

BUILDSTOCK
Buildstock is building a B2B marketplace for America’s $1.4 Trillion
construction materials industry.
The construction materials market is highly fragmented, reliant on
archaic tools, and opaque. If Buildstock succeeds, it will create market
data transparency to improve pricing, payments, time efficiencies &
fulfillment.
B2B CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS MARKETPLACE & SAAS TOOLS

"Wilson & I are excited to have Brian & Lisa as
investors, for our construction materials
marketplace/software startup. We value the

BACKBONE AI
BackboneAI builds frictionless data networks through intercompany
automation. It transforms supplier and customer relationships through
real-time data synchronization, fast API connectivity, and third-party
application and database integration.
COVID-19 compelled companies in legacy industries to transition to B2B
ecommerce much more quickly than forecast. To do this, data and
information has to be easy to process and analyze to support decision-
making across organizations. This creates a large and growing
opportunity for startups in the data infrastructure stack to build
platforms and ecosystems that make it easier for large industrial
companies to make the transition to transacting more business through
digital and online channels.

LEAF LOGISTICS
Leaf Logistics coordinates across the truckload transportation industry
to remove waste in the form of unnecessary miles driven by empty
trucks. Using advanced data analytics, Leaf coordinates multi-shipper
routes that eliminate empty miles, saving shippers money, allowing
carriers to generate more revenue, and reducing the excess carbon
emissions associated with empty miles.
Leaf then uses a unique forward contracting approach to move the
industry away from the transactional nature of transportation contracting
and towards longer-term planning to increase business certainty for
both supply and demand. The Leaf platform brings together shippers,
carriers, brokers, and other partners to transform the truckload
transportation industry.

LIMELOOP
LimeLoop combines reusable packaging and smart technology to
provide retailers with an efficient, profitable circular supply chain. This
provides them with a powerful platform to effectively understand and
reduce packaging costs, guide corporate responsibility, and optimize
supply chain decisions.
Supply chain visibility has become a priority for retailers since the
COVID19 Pandemic. Retailers want to understand how ecommerce
customers experience their brand, and to gain some insight into the
factors that drive shopper dissatisfaction AND the high rate of returns.
Returns have become an enormous problem for retailers, with the
NYTimes recently reporting that returns in 2021 amounted to more than
$750 Billion of lost revenue.
EVERYTHING RETAILERS NEED FOR SUSTAINABLE SHIPPING

LimeLoop is adding 200+ American retailers
by partnering with one of the world's largest
reverse logistics service providers.
Announcement coming soon.

GYBE
Gybe is developing a platform to enable businesses in different
industries to easily deliver instructions, and capture data from frontline
workers using cloud and edge computing.
There’s an ongoing process of upgrading workplaces with specialised
enterprise mobility management systems that reduce the waste and
inefficiencies associated with using paper-based information delivery,
retrieval, and capture systems. This is becoming more important as
companies modernize their supply chains and operations in order to
keep up with changes accelerated by COVID19. The target market is the
60 million, or so, frontline employees who can be found across logistics,
manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, real estate and construction, oil
and gas, and other industries.

WEARWELL
Wearwell is a community-powered ecommerce platform that marries
the growing interest in ESG considerations with the best of ecommerce
technology and the power of community to help new fashion and
apparel brands find consumers, and vice versa.
Consumers with a strong interest in buying from brands that show a
strong commitment to sustainability in their supply chain operations
often complain about the cognitive burden of finding such brands. This
has created an opportunity for new entrants like wearwell to build new
ecommerce platforms that make it easy for consumers to discover
independent brands whose practices are compatible with consumers’
ethos. The company is starting with a focus on fashion and apparel, and
will extend into other categories over time.
SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE FOR SUSTAINABLE FASHION

GROUPUPS
GroupUps (fka, The Convoy) combines the buying power of small
businesses to negotiate special offers on the products and services they
use every day in a market network that drives value for participating
buyers and suppliers.
SMBs typically do not benefit from the advantages of purchasing in bulk.
COVID19 drove that pain-point home in a very acute, tangible and
powerful way. A one-stop-shop platform that serves as a technology-
enabled Group Purchasing Organization for SMBs will create a lot of
value, and in turn can capture some value for itself. Such a platform can
drive profitability for the SMBs that join the platform, thereby acting as
an economic multiplier.
GROUP BUYING POWER FOR SMALL BUSINESS

PROSPECTIVE
The Prospective Company is building on the Perspective open source
project, which is an interactive analytics and data visualization tool, well-
suited for large and streaming datasets.
As industrial supply chains continue to advance towards becoming fully
digitally enabled, there's a growing need to analyze data in ways that
make it easier for people to make decisions in real time.
Platforms like the one The Prospective Company is setting out to build
are a key part of the transition that is taking place in private and public
supply chains; To empower employees closest to frontline supply chain
operations with data and information to quickly make the right decisions
for any situation.

Omnichain has developed an end-to-end omnichannel supply chain
planning, execution and automation platform mainly targeted at small
and medium size businesses. The platform is easy to use and modular,
and integrates well with other systems commonly used by SMBs.
The COVID19 Pandemic forced business owners to examine how they
manage their supply chains. That has led to increasing demand for
inexpensive end-to-end supply chain management, data visibility,
insights and workflow automation platforms.

OVERWATCH
Overwatch is building a market intelligence and risk analysis platform for
real-time supply chain risk management.
Corporations are paying closer attention to supply chain risk - especially
risk that originates beyond the walls of a company's direct operations
and beyond its Tier-1 suppliers. This is particularly true for multinational
corporations that rely on parts and raw materials from suppliers all over
the world. For such corporations, adequately preparing for and
proactively responding to exogenous supply chain risks has enormous
implications for continuity of business operations.
PREDICTION AND DETECTION OF EMERGENT SUPPLY CHAIN RISKS

TRANSMUTE
Transmute digitizes the paper documents involved in global trade and
transforms them into verifiable digital credentials.
Volatile geopolitical relationships, changing government regulations,
shifting standards, and business initiatives aimed at increasing efficiency
make a platform like the one Transmute is building a necessary enabler
of global trade. Verifiable digital credentials are like the shipping
containers of trade data, imparting similar standardization benefits with
