ROOY operates a platform that allows brands and designers to present shoe designs to an engaged community of shoe lovers who vote on which designs will reach the market, accelerating R&D to manufacturing. Founded in 2014 by Ryan Kang, the company is based in San Francisco and maintains an R&D center in Busan, Korea. Early adopters can reserve products during development at discounted prices, and ROOY offers retail partnerships to boost sales potential for each project. The company secured $3.4M in seed funding to support its growth. ROOY intends to use the funds to expand its online presence and global marketing and to continue developing its manufacturing capacity.
