About Us

Talktz emerged from years of pivots, lessons, and unexpected inspiration.

It began with The Fision, a multi-brand sustainable apparel platform integrating cutting-edge technologies like blockchain, artificial intelligence, on-demand production, and virtual 3D development. Just as we were set to launch, the market unexpectedly crashed. Although buyers loved the concept, they asked us to return next season. Without the funds to wait, we had no choice but to pivot.

This led to our next venture: a transparent, sustainable, trackable T-shirt. Using blockchain and the world’s first climate-positive traceable cotton, we created a scannable QR label and App, enabling customers to trace their shirts journey and environmental impact, scientifically proven to have just 1/3 the impact of a regular cotton T.

Retail buyers showed interest until they realized our App also allowed brands to customize and continue marketing to customers post-purchase. This complexity now involved multiple departments in large retailers in order to complete a sale, which made closing deals challenging, to say the least.

The turning point came when a friend introduced us to Cloz Talk, a company producing charity-branded apparel to spark conversations and raise awareness for nonprofits. As we discussed their mission and I stared at his Cloz Talk T-shirt, I had an aha moment: our existing App could actually make T-shirts talk. I was thrilled to discover a new way to utilize the technology we had already developed.

And so the concept of Talktz was born.

Over the next year, we developed a durable QR code patch that integrates seamlessly with apparel, withstands over 100 washes, and connects to our dynamic MultiLink App and analytics dashboard. Now, charity T-shirts aren’t just conversation starters, they are dynamic engagement tools that turn awareness into measurable actions, providing nonprofits with valuable insights, new fundraising opportunities, volunteer recruitment, merchandise sales, and more.

We believe in the power of apparel to spark change. With Talktz, we hope to transform how people support the causes they care about: turning supporters into advocates, one T-shirt at a time.
