Overview

unspun is an Oakland, CA-based 3D weaving technology company led by CEO Walden Lam. The company developed Vega™, a 3D weaving platform that takes thousands of yarns and weaves them into garments in minutes, enabling near‑zero‑waste, on‑demand manufacturing. Vega is positioned to help brands realize low‑inventory, nearshore and automated supply chains for woven products. unspun has signed multi‑year agreements with multiple top retailers, including Walmart, to deploy Vega machines for localized production in North America and Europe. The company intends to use fresh funding to further develop its 3D weaving technology and expand operations in Europe and North America. Financially, it recently completed a $32M Series B financing led by DCVC. Unspun develops automated, localized apparel manufacturing technology that enables custom-fit garments on demand. The company began with custom-fit jeans and has since developed Vega™, a 3D weaving technology that transforms yarn into clothes in minutes. Unspun positions its tech to help brands and manufacturers streamline and decarbonize fashion supply chains through low-impact, automated production. The firm was co-founded in 2015 by Walden Lam (CEO), Beth Esponnette (CPO), and Kevin Martin (CTO) and is based in Oakland, CA. Unspun intends to use new funding to continue expanding its technology development and to move into hardware with Vega. The company raised a Series A to advance those product and development plans.
