Sizekick receives 1.3 million euros

Sizekick enables online shoppers to find clothing in their perfect size. The Munich-based startup has secured the Hohenstein Textile Testing Institute as an investor and, with the €1.3 million financing round, is leaving "stealth mode" behind, making its first public appearance.

Sizekick was founded last summer by Jake Lydon and David Oldeen. Both previously held leadership positions at Presize, responsible for deep learning and sales. Presize developed a similar product and launched in the spring acquired by Facebook parent company MetaSimilar to Presize, Sizekick aims to enable customers of online clothing stores to find the perfect size using their smartphone. This would improve the shopping experience and avoid unnecessary returns and the associated CO2 emissions. The product launch is planned for 2023.

Sizekick: “Taking sizing in e-commerce to a new level”

Sizekick CEO David Oldeen says:

"The feedback from the market and discussions with future partners in the fashion and sports industries speak for themselves. What's needed is a true sizing problem solver that takes into account the different body shapes of users, as well as the differences between individual styles and brands, when recommending sizes. This is exactly what we can offer at Sizekick, thus taking sizing in e-commerce to a new level."

Jake Lydon, CTO at Sizekick, says:

"The strategic partnership with Hohenstein enables us, as a new AI solution, to meet the high demands of the market right from the start and assume the role of technology leader. Thanks to Hohenstein, our artificial intelligence is already learning with the world's largest and highest-quality database of 3D body scans. This is an extremely significant advantage for our AI."
