Unmade raises £4.8m in Series A funding led by Octopus Ventures to fuel global expansion
Octopus Ventures led the Series A round with participation from MMC Ventures, Felix Capital, and existing investors.
Unmade provides digital software solutions enabling fashion and sportswear brands to implement on-demand production and customisation at scale. Its technology connects design with manufacturing to eliminate unsold inventory and reduce waste.
Fashion software provider Unmade has secured £4.8m in a Series A financing round led by Octopus Ventures, with additional participation from MMC Ventures, Felix Capital, and existing backers. The capital will be deployed to accelerate global expansion, advance product technology, and support team growth across Europe and the United States.
The raise follows a period of commercial traction for the London-based business, which expanded its software capabilities beyond knitwear to include print customisation and high-performance teamwear through a partnership with Rapha. Founded in 2014, the company aims to align apparel manufacturing with actual consumer demand to foster a more sustainable industry.
