About Marble
Marble is a climate tech venture studio. We partner with scientists, engineers, and operators to create companies solving hard climate problems in the world's largest industries.
Our first 10 companies are building transformative products across energy, industry, agriculture, and climate resilience. 100% have been successful in raising follow-on to date. We are looking to partner with exceptional individuals to create our next venture.

Bringing intelligence to textiles
Global manufacturing faces growing pressure to reduce waste and emissions while improving productivity -especially across under-digitised sectors like textiles and food. The limits of traditional ERP and MES systems are becoming increasingly apparent. While large players invest in smart factories and AI tooling, 99% of manufacturing firms in the EU are SMEs, and they remain structurally underserved.
In the fashion sector alone, overproduction, process inefficiencies, and limited visibility into material flows cost $70–140 billion in lost sales annually. In the EU,



more than 5 million tonnes of garments are discarded each year, with less than 1% recycled. AI has the potential to dramatically reduce material waste, improve forecasting, and cut emissions - but most existing solutions are either too expensive or simply not built for the SME context.
That’s where the chance lies: to develop an AI-driven material optimization platform tailored for SMEs. Starting with textiles, the solution must combine retrofit-friendly data capture, lightweight edge AI-agentic models, and decision support tools that operators can trust. If successful, this approach could scale into a sector-agnostic platform to optimize yield, cost, and carbon intensity across global manufacturing. We have secured partners across the textile manufacturing supply chain in India that will provide us with the data and expertise for us to pilot our AI agents with. During the piloting phase, you’ll have direct access to the f
