Textiles and garments contribute 16% of Vietnam’s total GPD, but it’s challenging for small garment brands to take advantage of the country’s manufacturing prowess. Inflow is stepping into the gap, with a platform that gives small brands visibility into manufacturers' supply chains and the design-to-production cycle. It also helps them meet manufacturers who are willing to produce smaller quality of garments. The Vietnam-based startup announced today that it has raised $2 million in seed funding. Investors included AppWorks, 500 Global, January Capital, Spiral Ventures and Saison Capital.
