Coolmate secures $2M in Series A funding

Founded in early 2019, Coolmate runs the D2C e-commerce business model without relying on traditional stores for marketing and selling, offering consumers high-quality clothing at a reasonable price.

The company started with only 2,000 orders per month and now handles up to 10,000 orders per day, with more than half of all purchases coming from repeat customers. With its revenue growth rate, the company is on track to reach $19 million in revenue in 2022.

Coolmate's products are minimalistic in design, highly functional, and eco-friendly. Advanced fashion technologies such as Excool (extremely cool), Anti-Smell (anti-odor), CleanDye (dry dye without pollution), and HeiQ Viroblock (anti-virus on fabric) are applied in its production. Coolmate’s e-commerce platform built by a team of seasoned engineers enables the company to develop exclusive features such as smart-size selection, size-fit analysis, and diverse payment methods.

As an up-and-coming local fashion brand, Coolmate places a high value on customer experience and customer trust. The company implements a free 60-day return policy for any reason. The returned products will be classified by Coolmate, with the reusable items being donated to charity activities.

“We want to sell customers more than just clothing; we want to provide them with a unique shopping experience. Our D2C model allows us to connect with customers directly, establish long-term relationships with them, and constantly listen to their needs,” said Nhu Pham, CEO & Co-Founder of Coolmate.

The funds will be utilised to research and expand Coolmate’s product categories with new materials to enhance customer comfort; upgrade the operations system to enable large-scale packaging and delivery; and improve team capacity to match the company's rapid growth rate.

Charles Rim, general partner at Access Ventures said, “Coolmate is already playing a leadership role in the fashion technology in Vietnam with their unique and dynamic strategies. Having achieved another funding milestone, we anticipate their progress to accelerate as they innovate their way to prominence.
