Yoona.ai finished Startupbootcamp FashionTech Acceleration Programm

yoona.ai is a unique SaaS solution which helps the fashion industry to optimize processes and save time and costs by our deep tech platform without designers burnout and encouraging sustainability while enhancing creativity.

Vision
yoona.ai will be the global leader of design digitalization and will move internationally the process towards data driven and digital product creation.

Problem & Opportunity
Design processes are still manual today, although up to 90% of the processes are no longer creative but bestseller-oriented. Fashion companies create from 6000 to 250 000 designs per month, of which at least 2 prototypes are made per design. 30% of the products are not sold and this means 3000 kg of waste per month per company and a total material consumption per company of 4 million km of fabric. Designers spend over 55,000 hours a year on design work and this means over 11 million euros for a medium-sized company. In addition, hardly any designer has more time for creativity on the contrary many come from the industry with burnout.

Value proposition
With our Deep Tech platform, we shorten the previously subjective design process to production to just a few simple clicks. The result is data based success oriented design material.
