13 Collide Secures $5M Seed Round to Empower Diverse Voices in Luxury Fashion

We are thrilled to announce that 13 Collide has successfully raised $5,000,000 in our latest funding round—a monumental milestone that underscores the market’s confidence in our innovative vision and the transformative potential of our platform. Founded in 2024 by visionary Jaquan Carter, 13 Collide was established with a mission to seamlessly merge the worlds of luxury fashion and impeccable craftsmanship while championing a commitment to diversity. Our platform is designed not only to showcase premium garments and accessories that blend sophistication with affordability but also to serve as a vibrant stage for underrepresented voices in the fashion industry. This new infusion of capital will be strategically deployed to amplify our core initiatives: forging new partnerships with both emerging minority designers and established fashion brands, expanding our curated collection, and bolstering technological enhancements that streamline our customer experience. By investing in state-of-the-art digital tools and innovative marketing strategies, we aim to broaden our reach and reinforce our commitment to ethical practices within the industry. Every step we take is guided by our belief that luxury can be inclusive, and that elegance and talent should have no boundaries. At 13 Collide, we are proud to offer a meticulously curated experience—where timeless designs meet contemporary relevance—and we remain devoted to elevating minority-owned businesses. This significant funding not only reinforces our capacity to lead change in the fashion landscape but also propels us further along our journey to create an ecosystem where diversity, quality, and creativity thrive together. Join us as we embrace this empowering new chapter and continue to redefine the boundaries of luxury fashion.
