J. Robins
Personally
Meet our CEO, Marieke Franzen
"I have been working in the fashion industry since 2018, first at adidas as part of its digital transformation initiative and later as CTO of The Fabricant.
Before that, I spent more than 20 years in the 3D film industry, where I started as a texturing artist and worked my way up through the ranks to become a Render Supervisor on productions such as Wonder Woman and The Avengers at one of the largest visual effects studios in London.
In 2022, I founded Futurity GmbH with the goal of transferring knowledge from the film industry to the fashion industry to accelerate digitalization and promote more sustainable solutions.
I am an international keynote speaker and am regularly invited to speak on sustainability, innovation, and digital trends.
For me, building a company is like riding a roller coaster. Every day brings new challenges, opportunities, and surprises, and I start each day with the intention of enjoying the ride."

Opportunities
We believe, it does not take millions to make change. Just a small band of heroes and a mission.
We are looking for people who truly love a challenge, people who are not afraid to question the status quo, who enjoy inventing, and who can persevere through difficult times because they believe in what they are doing.
As an investor, if you are looking for a get-rich-quick startup that's not us. As a job applicant, if you are looking for a permanent, secure job, that's not us either.
We like to take risks - we are a startup, after all.
However, if you believe in slow and sustainable growth, if you have patience and tenacity, and if you value honesty and kindness, then you are more than welcome. We are looking for investors and manufacturing partners for our brand, as well as designers, inventors, and innovators to join our company.
Our team brings together talent from technology, visual effects, and fashion. If you are interested in working with us, just drop us a quick message and say hello.
We look forward to hearing from you.
