About

We make supply chains feel effortless

Calico brings AI-native tooling to product design, sourcing, and production, so teams can move with precision, not panic.
Our vision
A world where every product team, from a five-person startup to a global fashion house, has access to advanced intelligence that can revolutionize the historical manual process of product creation.
Your designers, developers, and sourcing teams are the backbone of your brand and how the world gets dressed, equipped, and built. We're here to give them an unfair advantage.
Team
Calico was founded by Kathleen Chan, Khalid Khatib and Maraz Rahman, with many of us having spent years inside the operations we set out to improve.
Calico started from a simple frustration: why does it still take 18 months to bring a product from concept to shelf? We each lived inside that problem, in operations roles, as engineers building adjacent tools, as consultants who'd seen the same spreadsheet-driven chaos at brand after brand.
While AI was transforming software, marketing, and finance, the physical world lagged behind. The teams designing garments, negotiating with mills, and managing production calendars were still working with tools built for a different era. We decided to change that.
The original thesis was narrow. The platform we've built is not. Calico now serves product teams across fashion, footwear, industrial goods, and consumer hardware, all running faster because of what we've built together.
Join us to shape the future of product creation, we're just getting started.
Headquartered in Toronto. If you want to change the way apparel is made and sourced, opportunities are here.
