Spatial Labs Unveils Fashion Collection: Core Powered by Circle: A New Way to Connect

Published

By

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Spatial Labs, a cutting-edge technology and design company, introduces their first fashion collection – Core Powered by Circle—a revolutionary step forward in fashion and how we connect with each other.

The Core collection is the first to leverage the new innovative platform Circle, which transforms the way we engage, share, and build relationships. Core marks the beginning of a new era in personal expression and connection – setting a new standard for fashion and for global brands.

The Core collection embodies Spatial Labs’ commitment to innovation, self-expression, and cultural impact. Each piece offers a new way to interact, making fashion a living reflection of personal identity.

The debut Core collection features essential pieces including Core Tee $120, Core Crewneck $220, Core pants $250 and Core Hoodie $320. The collection comes in five colorways including: Arctic, Titanium, Carbon, Rust, and Moss. The Core collection is made in Los Angeles and debuts online and at the flagship store in Culver City at The Platform, where customers can explore the future of fashion and experience the technology firsthand.

“Our vision with Circle is to build a platform that allows people to interact with the world around them in ways never before possible,” said Iddris Sandu, Founder & CEO of Spatial Labs.

“In a world where our connections have become fragmented and often impersonal, Circle is reimagining how we share and preserve moments. It’s not just about social networks; it’s about building a new interaction layer where everyday objects and experiences tell our stories in real-time.”

Sandu continued: “With Core and Circle, we’re pioneering a future where the objects we own,wear and touch are gateways to personal memories and shared experiences. This is not some far-off vision—it’s here, today, and it’s creating opportunities for everyone to showcase their lives in ways that feel more intimate, more authentic, and ultimately more human.”

Each item in the Core collection is embedded with smart chip technology linked to Circle which allows users to personalize their clothing. Circle users can post to their feed using “Tiles” to share photos, videos, links, playlists, and more moments from their daily life, creating deeper connections and fostering a sense of community. And it all comes to life when users tap the Tag on each other’s clothing.

Circle offers an alternative space for individuals to express themselves, allowing users to share their lives more authentically and intimately. Unlike traditional social media sharing tools that often feel impersonal, overly curated, and limiting, Circle keeps you and your close circle of friends connected, enabling a depth of presence to share your stories in real time without any expectations of maintaining a perfect image.

L’ATTITUDE Ventures Announces Mavida Health as L’ATTITUDE Latino Startup of the Year; 10 Latino/a-led companies vied for the title during the Match-Up™ 2024 program

Published

By

L’ATTITUDE Ventures, the largest early-stage venture capital fund that invests in U.S. Latino/a entrepreneurs, proudly announced that the Los Angeles-based Mavida Health was awarded “L’ATTITUDE Latino Start-Up of the Year” during its prestigious Match-Up™ 2024 program.

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — L’ATTITUDE Ventures, the largest early-stage venture capital fund that invests in U.S. Latino/a entrepreneurs, proudly announced that the Los Angeles-based Mavida Health was awarded “L’ATTITUDE Latino Start-Up of the Year” during its prestigious Match-Up™ 2024 program.

“Match-Up 2024 was a fantastic showcase of the growth and excellence brought by our Latino founders. It highlighted the fact that Latino-owned businesses are growing 10 times faster.”

Taking place during L’ATTITUDE Ventures’ recent annual conference from Sept. 12-15 in San Diego, Match-Up™ is a highly competitive pitch competition and venture capital conference that curates top Latina (o) entrepreneurs who are creating the next generation of transformational companies.

L’ATTITUDE Ventures sees the potential that these companies have. The venture capital fund’s 2023 Impact Report shares how it has invested in 31 companies and deployed $49 million. According to the 2024 Official Latino Donor Collaborative (LDC) U.S. Latino GDP Report, “the U.S. Latino GDP is the second fastest-growing among the world’s 10 largest economies, behind only China.”

In front of an audience of business leaders, investors, and supporters on Sept. 14 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, L’ATTITUDE Ventures Managing Partner Pete Amaro, L’ATTITUDE Ventures General Partner Laura Moreno Lucas and CNBC Correspondent and Moderator Contessa Brewer crowned Mavida Health with the title. As the winner, Mavida Health will also receive exclusive press coverage, introductions to top co-investors, and the opportunity to join L’ATTITUDE Ventures’ portfolio.

Mavida’s name comes from combining two Spanish words—maternal (maternal) and vida (life). Created by Co-Founders Dr. Sarah Oreck, a reproductive psychiatrist, and Emma Sugerman, a digital health leader, the company offers specialized online therapy for women, supportive communities, medication management, and resources to empower users throughout their motherhood journey. Some tools include an exclusive education and resource library on parenting, maternal mental health and well-being, and group chats and support groups for mothers, fathers, and new parents moderated by parenting and mental health experts.

“Our team at Mavida Health is thrilled to be awarded 2024 Latino Startup of the Year!,” said Oreck. “Mavida Health exists to provide comprehensive, specialized mental health care for the path to parenthood—and recognition like this is critical in amplifying our message so more women can get the help they need. On a personal level, as the daughter of Colombian immigrants who fought their own mental health battles, to be celebrated amongst the Latino community is particularly meaningful.”

Sugerman added how Mavida Health’s win at this competition signals positive change when it comes to Latino business owners receiving funding.

“A dismal 2% of all venture funding goes to Latino founders (and about the same to women), despite the fact that U.S. Latinas are critical drivers of economic growth and resilience for the broader economy,” she explained. “Mavida Health is honored to be part of that drive.”

This year’s Match-Up was a tight competition as CEOs and founders of 10 companies ranging from health, travel, wellness, tech, sports content, and pet insurance participated in pitch sessions capturing the attention of investors and other business leaders. Allison McGuire, founder and coach of the McGuire Method, critiqued the participants’ pitches, offering helpful commentary about their stage and vocal presentation after their first and second tries.

After deliberation, the L’ATTITUDE Ventures team selected Mavida Health and four other finalists: RevelAI Health, Holos, Dynami Battery Corp., and Nala. Taking McGuire’s advice, they presented their final pitches to a live audience who voted for their favorite as Mavida Health became the winner. The other five participating companies in the 2024 Match-Up Competition were: Cosito, DRAFTED, Greether, Inspirame, and Nibbles.

“Match-Up 2024 was a fantastic showcase of the growth and excellence brought by our Latino founders,” Lucas said. “It highlighted the fact that Latino-owned businesses are growing 10 times faster.”
