Company Summary
ZipFit uses technology to help men find great fitting jeans. We integrate stores with an e-commerce site for easy repeat purchases. The flagship Chicago store opened in October 2012 and was profitable immediately. To date, we have fit over 1500 men and achieved greater than $250K in revenue. We're seeking growth capital to open additional locations, to continue building our e-commerce site and to expand our fit technology to other clothing lines.
