01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
DGI Apparel is a New York-based startup co-founded in 2023 by former NHL goaltender Grant Fuhr and backed by Y Combinator. It is revolutionizing the custom apparel sourcing process for businesses: its platform lets store owners compare prices, inventory and shipping times from multiple vendors, providing time and cost savings through automated purchasing and supplier integrations. The company evolved from software development into a print-world player and raised $2 million in seed funding.
