🏅 Honored to be named by Inc. Magazine as a 2025 Female Founder. I'm grateful as we continue our mission to fundamentally change how people experience shoes. Being a founder is hard. Building groundbreaking technology is harder. Being a female founder in tech is harder still. This global recognition from Inc. affirms our journey and fuels our conviction that we're creating something truly meaningful. At IAMBIC, we're using science and technology to make footwear serve the human body, not the other way around. Our technology translates smartphone scans into AI-tailored precision-fit shoes — delivering the level of fit and comfort previously only available in $3,000-10,000 luxury bespoke footwear. Our patent-pending technology merges AI-driven scanning, design, and manufacturing, developed over 5 years of government-backed R&D, delivering NASA-grade precision. 👟 This Inc. recognition builds on a series of incredible moments in our journey. Our MODEL T shoe was named a TIME Best Invention, and we've been fortunate to receive support from Alastair Monk, at the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), Techstars, the Harvard Innovation Labs, and Harvard Alumni Entrepreneurs along the way. We were even recently featured in Times Square through our growing strategic partnership with Brex. 🗽 I'm deeply grateful for the brilliant work of my co-founder and CTO Raza Hassan, and our partnership with Dr. Hylton Menz, the most cited researcher in footwear and podiatry globally. With a growing pipeline of partnerships in streetwear, fashion, and culture, we're setting a new standard for how shoes are made and worn. Thank you to Inc. Magazine and everyone who has supported us on this journey. 🔗 Links in comments below. #FemaleFounders500 #WomenWhoLead

IAMBIC. Fashion Week. Times Square. LET'S GO. 🗽🍎 When I first moved to NYC, I was a consultant, weaving through Times Square on my daily commute. Bain & Company’s old offices were right in the heart of it. Every day, I’d pass through the chaos—the lights, the energy, the billboards—never imagining that years later, something I built entirely from scratch would be up there. 👟 IAMBIC started with a simple question: We’ve been sending people to space for over half a century, moving toward self-driving cars—so why do we still accept shoes that just don’t fit? That question became an obsession, then a company—now backed by deep tech, government funding, and global experts across footwear, streetwear, and biomedical engineering. And now, here we are. Our shoe—designed for precision fit, built for movement, and made for the way we live today—is lighting up Times Square. Seeing it this big—and during Fashion Week—is surreal. But this is just the beginning. We’re building something big, and there’s so much more ahead. Want to follow along? Stay in the loop—link in comments to sign up for our newsletter. Huge thanks to Brex and Techstars for making this happen—grateful for the partnership and the belief in what we’re building. #WeAreIAMBIC #TimesSquare #GrowWithBrex

Over the last 3 months, we’ve partnered with The Working Assembly to transform IAMBIC’s website into a bold, elevated reflection of who we are today. Our new design provides a deeper look into how we’re reinventing footwear around 3 core pillars: 1. An Edition of One 🪡 We’re modernizing bespoke by creating 1-of-1 shoes that blend old-world craftsmanship and everyday versatility. Each pair is custom-made in Portugal with aerospace-grade precision, transforming what was once an unattainable luxury into a practical option for modern life. 2. Technology 🔬 Backed by 5 years of government-funded R&D and 12 patent-pending inventions, our smartphone scanning, computer vision, and data-driven manufacturing seamlessly merge art and innovation. Proprietary features like Sole Print evolve with each pair, capturing your movement and unlocking new layers of personalization over time. 3. Precision Fit 🛠️ Our smartphone AI foot scan captures over 20 data variables, achieving up to 98% fit accuracy. The moment your feet meet IAMBICs, comfort redefines your expectations, making precise fit the new standard for everyday wear. We’re thrilled to share this vision, where “the perfect fit” can finally become everyone’s reality. A huge thanks to Jolene Delisle for helping us land the new look and feel shape our brand since our earliest days as a shoe brand along the way. 🔗 Explore our new website and share your thoughts—link in the comments below. 📷 For the backstory behind our website evolution, head to my Instagram.
