Build and launch MVP, execute global go-to-market, form key partnerships, and protect intellectual property
Éclair is the first AI-powered fashion companion that digitizes wardrobes, personalizes daily outfit planning through psychometric intelligence, and integrates resale and packing tools for modern consumers. Our platform addresses the chaos, waste, and fragmentation in today's fashion lifecycle while opening a new frontier in digital identity, shopping, and sustainability.
We are raising a $3M seed round to support 12–15 months of development, launch, and growth. This budget has been benchmarked against top-performing AI consumer startups and reflects the strategic needs of an early-stage, deep-tech company building a behavior-based fashion ecosystem.
