Stratton & Ivy

About the offering

Stratton & Ivy is an AI-powered luxury menswear and retail technology company founded by James Tulin, who previously scaled SWANK Inc. into a $200M NASDAQ-listed men's accessories company that was sold at a 111% premium to shareholders. The founder brings 30+ years of experience developing accessories for major brands including Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Nautica, Guess, and Kenneth Cole, and also previously raised $700K+ and secured national distribution in year one of a separate luxury apparel brand. The company is headquartered in Sheridan, WY and focuses on Italian-crafted luxury menswear and accessories sold primarily DTC, with an average order value of approximately $290 and a blended gross margin profile of ~70%. Unit economics cited include a $42.50 landed cost yielding $162.50 gross profit at a $205 MSRP. The business model is built around using AI to reduce traditional development and operating overhead — projected savings of $200K+ annually compared to conventional apparel operating structures (not guaranteed). The company claims that at $10M in revenue, traditional apparel companies carry ~$1.3M in development and operating overhead, much of which Stratton & Ivy aims to eliminate through AI tooling. A key proprietary technology highlight is ClubSync™, described as an AI-powered forecasting and inventory replenishment intelligence tool designed for private clubs and specialty retailers. The company has established relationships with elite private clubs and cites a global sourcing network built on longstanding manufacturing partnerships, including with Italian artisans. The CFO is Christopher Tulin, described as Pepperdine's top finance graduate with nearly a decade of experience in valuation modeling and growth strategy. The advisory board includes Andrew Madison, who has consulted for Fortune 500 corporations on IT infrastructure and software deployment. The campaign is live on Wefunder with a minimum investment of $250. At the time of data capture, the round had raised $76,250 from 14 investors, with early bird terms still partially available. The company targets a path to $20M in revenue through disciplined growth, though all projections are noted as not guaranteed. 32% of capital raised is allocated toward customer acquisition and digital brand expansion across Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The company is categorized under Technology, Ecommerce, Consumer Goods, B2C, and AI on Wefunder.
