# DGI-Apparel
DGI Apparel was a YC-backed (Winter 2024) startup that aimed to be the "Expedia for ordering blank apparel." Their mission was to simplify the purchasing process for custom apparel businesses by providing a centralized platform to compare prices, inventory, and shipping times from various vendors. The company was founded in 2023 by Ian Hinkley, Grant Fuhr, and Daniel Shkreli and was headquartered in New York.
DGI Apparel offered a B2B marketplace for custom screen printers and other apparel decorators. The platform allowed users to connect their wholesaler accounts and view a consolidated feed of pricing, inventory, and cart information. This enabled them to find the best deals on blank apparel and streamline their ordering process. The platform was free for end-users and served over 2,800 apparel businesses.
While specific details about their technology stack are not publicly available, DGI Apparel's platform was a web-based tool that aggregated data from multiple vendors. Their engineering culture was likely focused on building a user-friendly and reliable platform that could handle a large amount of data. The founders' engineering backgrounds suggest a strong emphasis on technology and innovation.
As a startup, DGI Apparel likely had a fast-paced and collaborative work environment. The company has since shut down operations.
