Top Ecommerce Startups in 2026

BALO is an AI-powered fashion marketplace built to solve one of fashion’s biggest problems: fit. Online shopping wasn’t designed for real bodies or independent designers. Shoppers struggle to find clothing that actually fits, leading to frustration and high return rates. Designers, especially emerging and independent brands, lack access to data and tools that help them understand their customers, scale sustainably, and compete with large retailers. We’re building a new fashion commerce layer powered by fit intelligence, personalization, and immersive digital experiences. BALO helps shoppers discover independent designers with confidence using technology to recommend better fit, reduce guesswork, and improve how clothing is experienced online. At the same time, we empower designers with insights that help them design, sell, and grow more effectively. Our platform blends AI, creative technology, and thoughtful design to reimagine how fashion is discovered and purchased starting with fit, but extending into storytelling, personalization, and next-generation shopping experiences. BALO is early-stage, fast-moving, and design-led. We’re building with curiosity, experimentation, and care; creating tools that serve both people and creativity in fashion’s next chapter.

Vestico combines AI & user-generated content to show shoppers how clothes fit before they buy & collect actionable data throughout their shopping journey. Most of us don't look like the models we see online, so it's difficult to make the right decisions about size and fit. Returns in fashion e-commerce can go as high as 60% and cost retailers over $500B every year in the US alone. Far more importantly, e-commerce returns are having a devastating impact on our planet due to emissions, repackaging, restocking, and waste, with over six billion pounds of returned clothes ending up in landfill in 2019. Vestico solves the returns problem for retailers by showing shoppers how products look on people just like them. We give shoppers the confidence to buy and the information to buy intelligently, reducing returns and boosting conversion. By combining the authenticity of user-generated content with sizing AI, Vestico supports diverse representation at scale while solving the online fashion shopper's biggest pain point.

We're building AI Agents to help employees at consumer brands make better decisions.
