Product Manager

SYKY is building the web3 fashion platform of the next generation.

At SYKY, we believe that fashion is more than clothing – it’s a powerful way of expressing who you are. The next generation of designers will be digital-first, revolutionizing design in digital, physical, and augmented worlds. SYKY is building at that intersection.

We are a community for the next generation of designers, collectors, and those who love fashion. As a web3 startup, we believe that emerging technologies have the power to revolutionize creative industries like fashion, and we are leveraging this to build for the next generation of fashion designers, collectors, curators, and consumers.

We’re backed by strategic partners and investors like Seven Seven Six, Brevan Howard Digital, First Light Capital Group, Leadout Capital, and Polygon Ventures.
