Ontora · YC P26
Produced
Caps, hoodies, and tees for a YC startup team. All black, clean white branding, and pieces people actually wear out of the house.
Overview
Ontora wanted merch their team would actually reach for, not another box of swag buried in a closet. We put together three pieces: washed black dad caps with an embroidered lockup, heavyweight hoodies with the wordmark embroidered on the chest, and oversized tees with a small embroidered logo up front and a standalone icon on the back. Same colorway across everything so it feels like a real set, not a random grab bag. The kind of stuff founders wear to demo day and keep pulling on long after.
