Innovation Starts at the Bottom!

In nearly every industry, innovation starts at the bottom. In an industry that is historically and structurally unfriendly to start-ups, new designs, ideas and practices are unable to get to market and compete effectively. As a result, the apparel industry has not progressed.

It's time we invest in the brands of tomorrow who are committed to progressing the apparel industry, who are agile enough to takes risks and try new things, formulate new ideas and create products for the 21st century. We are looking for brands brands whose R&D budgets are 100% not 5% of revenue. The only way forward is through entrepreneurs innovating for the future.

Through PAL, the worlds best innovators and designers are invited to come to Portland to build the brands of tomorrow. Join Us!
