YiLab receives investments to scale thermoregulating fabrics

YiLab Temperature Control Technologies has announced the close of an oversubscribed pre-A funding round, bringing the company’s total funding to more than $10 million. The round drew strong interest from strategic investors to scale the technology of LifeLabs Design, a brand owned by YiLab that provides high-performance, thermoregulating fabrics for outdoor and active apparel brands.

Funds from the round will be used to establish a YiLab research laboratory and factory in Asia, enabling rapid prototyping and scaling of LifeLabs’ proprietary textile technologies.

“This funding marks a pivotal step forward in our mission to transform textiles into powerful climate solutions,” says Sophia Ou, CEO and co-founder of YiLab. “The enthusiasm from investors reinforces both the urgency of our work and the strength of our technology. With our new R&D lab and factory, we’re building a fast process from laboratory technology innovation to real-world impact.”
