Our inaugural quarterly newsletter brings together key updates from PDS Ventures, highlighting recent investments, portfolio milestones, industry collaborations, and events shaping the future of fashion and retail. From breakthrough technologies to sustainable innovation, this edition captures the progress, impact, and momentum across our growing global ecosystem.

Beyond our investment in To The Market, a purpose-driven company advancing sustainable and ethical supply chains, we collaborated through the PDS ecosystem to provide multi-year sourcing solutions from India and the Far East, helping the company scale operations, strengthen supply chains, and accelerate growth. This reflects our approach of going beyond investment — integrating, collaborating, and enabling impact.

Everloop is a first-of-its-kind capsule collection co-developed by Positive Materials and Petratex in collaboration with six pioneering material innovators backed by PDS Ventures: Amphico, Materra, PACT, Ponda, SAVIAN by Bio-Fluff, and Nature Coatings. Rooted in a shared vision of a regenerative, circular future for fashion, Everloop redefines what’s possible by merging high-performance design with next-generation sustainability. The initiative showcases how collective innovation can challenge the status quo, inspire future designers, and drive a lasting shift toward planet-positive materials and products designed for longevity.

PDS Ventures partnered with Global Fashion Agenda to establish the Trailblazer Programme, a new initiative spotlighting early-stage innovators with the potential to reshape the fashion industry. By addressing key barriers such as fragmented infrastructure, limited funding, and regulatory uncertainty, the collaboration aims to accelerate the development and adoption of sustainable solutions. This partnership reflects our commitment to investing in transformative ideas that bridge the gap between innovation and real-world impact.

PDS facilitated a partnership between Walmart and Unspun on a pilot project to evaluate the integration of Vega 3D weaving technology into the Walmart supply chain, starting with the creation of men’s chinos. Unspun aims to deploy 3D weaving machines at multiple microsites across the U.S., with a goal of having 350 machines operational by 2030.
