HyperNatural - Wearable Wellness is developing a new generation of bio-based textile fibers aimed at replacing petroleum-derived fabrics commonly used in performance apparel. The company was founded and launched by Chris Kolbe, an apparel industry veteran who served as brand president of Lands’ End and held merchandising leadership roles at Kohl’s and other national retailers. HyperNatural recently raised $500,000 in angel funding from GCI Portfolio Companies, the family-funded private equity firm established by the late Gary Comer. The announced funding is intended to support the company’s development efforts for these bio-based fibers. The article does not disclose revenue, users, or other operating metrics.
