Jackalo is transforming children's fashion with durable, buy-back clothing that keeps kids looking great—without the waste. The market is ready for change, and we’re leading the way. Invest now to help us scale our circular model and disrupt an industry built on disposability.

The Problem: Fast Fashion Fails Families

I started Jackalo after seeing firsthand how kids' clothes weren’t made to last. Parents are stuck in a cycle—buy, wear, tear, toss—wasting money and filling landfills. The fashion industry’s waste problem is massive, and no brand was solving it for kids.

The Solution: A Circular, Durable Alternative

Jackalo creates high-quality, sustainable kids’ clothes that stand up to rough play and last through multiple children. Our buy-back program ensures outgrown items are renewed and resold, keeping them in use and out of landfills. Families save money, and the planet benefits.

Why Now? Why Jackalo?

We’ve already proven the demand—growing a loyal customer base and gaining industry recognition. In 2023, I was selected for Techstars, one of the world’s top startup accelerators, where I built a team and a network of expert advisors in fashion, marketing, and sustainability.

Now, we’re expanding into new marketplaces and scaling our direct-to-consumer sales. To meet demand, we need investment—and we want you to be part of it.

Join us in building a future where kids' clothes are made to last. Invest in Jackalo today.

Meet my son, Elias, when he was four, we stopped getting hand-me-downs and I had to buy his clothes for the first time.

Whatever I spent on clothes, they weren't lasting long enough.

As a mom, I was exhausted from running after him and the last thing I needed was to have to buy clothes AGAIN.

Kids' clothes often don't last long enough to be outgrown. Parents are wasting money, time and contributing to pollution. 85% of all textiles end up in landfills and less than 1% of clothes are recycled.

The existing solutions are usually polyester which is unsustainable and ultimately not good for kids' sensitive skin. Or rigid workwear and denim that don't meet kids' comfort needs.

Altogether, this means that parents always have to compromise something: durability, comfort, or their values.

Jackalo is the no-compromise solution for parents who care for their kids and the planet. We make long-lasting, comfortable, and sustainable clothes, and then resell them on our platform, making it faster and easier for parents to do something that's right for their family and the planet at the same time.

Parents that buy Patagonia for themselves, want a brand for their kids that tells the world they care. These parents want other families to enjoy these clothes the second time around.

Our platform allows parents to find new or pre-loved clothes that meet their, and their kids', needs quickly and easily, without compromising their values.

To date, we have been primarily a direct-to-consumer business. We are rapidly expanding into new online marketplaces, like Target+, Target's online marketplace. We have four additional dropship partnerships that also drive sales, and anticipate launching in two new high-end marketplaces in Q1 of 2025. Additionally, we view B2B as a valuable tool for growing awareness and market share.

We all know that the global fashion market is enormous. But did you know that the circular fashion market is huge and growing, too? It is anticipated to be $700B by 2030, and we anticipate that children's fashion will be $9B of this.

By maintaining our focus not just on sustainability, but on circularity as well, Jackalo is well-positioned to remain a leader in this space. We reach our lofty goals with an omnichannel focus: continuing to grow our direct-to-consumer sales, marketplace expansion, and building out our B2B sales. Throughout, we will continue to expand our circularity efforts with a goal of maintaining 50% of our revenue streams from circular business practices -- this includes the use of deadstock fabrics (rescued from other brands' over-production), products made from recycled materials, and our buy-back program.

While there are plenty of high-end sustainable brands, few make circularity truly accessible. We are the first sustainable kidswear brand to offer the convenience of purchasing new and pre-loved items in a single checkout.

At Jackalo, we design for circularity. Our styles and features are crafted to ensure longevity, lasting through the second, third child, and beyond. We use materials that are recyclable with today's technology, addressing present-day challenges without relying on future solutions. Additionally, all our fabrics are compostable, allowing customers the option to compost them at home if recycling isn't convenient.

We also use the clothes returned for resale to guide our future design improvements, ensuring continuous enhancement of our products.

Our competitive advantages are strong. From being the first to market, our single checkout for new and pre-loved items, to designing for circularity and beyond, we are are in a great position to lead and succeed.

Our team includes mothers, industry insiders and outsiders that know how to up-end fashion to create better products that value people and planet along the way.

Our advisors bring expertise in marketing, fashion, circularity business strategy and law. All of which are critical to our success.

Renew and repair is being built out by leaders in fashion including Patagonia, Eileen Fisher, Dr Martens, and Veja. We are leading the way among kids' brands.

Sustainability-focused companies, are growing. And consumer demand is strong.

In five years, we'll be the go-to brand for sustainable kids' clothing with 50% of our revenue coming from circular business models.

This year we'll grow our multi-channel distribution strategy and enter into the school uniform market, which is ripe for disruption. We will also launch our first collection made from post-consumer recycled adult clothes.

In subsequent years, we'll open our first hybrid retail-repair studio.

Forward-looking statements are not guaranteed.

We are raising a $124k community round to help us get to our next phase of growth. This will include investments in our team and a heavy focus on marketing and sales.
