Beyond Form

What Beyond Form does

Beyond Form is a private fashion tech venture studio and founder support system founded in 2020 by Peter Jeun Ho Tsang. The company combines incubation, education, paid retreats, and selective equity investment under a single 'support system' architecture. Its three entry pathways — Sprint (3-month intensive, equity track), Launchpad (structured paid programs in Paris and Milan), and Catalyst (workshops and retreats) — channel aspiring founders into a long-term support pipeline that includes mentorship, industry piloting, and progression into equity participation. The studio operates across three fashion capital hubs: Paris (at Foundry Powered by IFA Paris since 2018), Milan (at Ferrari Fashion School's FFS Fashion Lab, launched 2026), and London, with additional experiential programming in Bali and Sicily. It is also developing an institutional education presence in India through the NIF GLOBAL partnership.

Beyond Form holds equity in 16 portfolio companies spanning the fashion technology stack, including T-Fashion (AI trend forecasting and generative design), AIMIRR (patented AI size recommendation and virtual fitting), FINDS (surplus stock management platform that sold 30,000 units for Adore Me in a two-month pilot), Shoefitr (footwear sizing), Drippy (no-code 3D design), New York Culture Club (fashion IoT and blockchain), WiMetrix (AI factory optimization), and Laundered (garment repair and circular fashion). The combined portfolio is valued at $80M with a claimed 82% success rate. The firm derives revenue from paid program fees (EUR 7,500 for the Milan incubator), retreat fees (EUR 3,300 Sicily, USD 2,325 Bali), selective equity stakes in qualified founders, and proceeds from its angel investor network ($1.5M+ raised). Content assets include the 'Venturing into Fashion Tech' podcast (15,000+ downloads, 80+ cities) and the 'Fashion Tech Applied' book authored by the CEO.

The venture studio model monetizes through a hybrid of program fees, equity participation, and a curated network of pilots with global brands (Pangaia, ASOS, Zalando, Guess, Microsoft, Adore Me). Distribution leverages the website apply funnel, academic partners (IFA Paris, Ferrari Fashion School, University of East London), and industry events (Avantex Paris, Milan Fashion Week). Beyond Form is founder-led, privately held, and structured as Beyond Form Limited with no disclosed institutional venture capital backing.
