More About NYFTLab 

Now in its twelfth year, the NYFTLab is a non-profit organization focused on identifying women-led B2B startups that they believe will revolutionize how brands and retailers operate. It was co-founded by Springboard Enterprises and The Partnership Fund for NYC.

Retail brands specifically choose to work with the NYFT companies, offering each of the six startups an opportunity to sell them their product. This year that includes AEO, Gap, J.Crew, Lululemon, Saks Global, tapestry, and TJX. 

The other companies in the cohort include: Athena Studio, KSI, Slip, spangle.ai, and vody.

All six companies will pitch to a room of major brands and industry influencers on June 16th. The 12-week program concludes on June 17th with ringing the bell at the NYSE.
