ISIS designs, markets, produces and distributes a high quality product line of attractive, innovative and performance-oriented outdoor apparel complemented by a line of fashionable casual wear. ISIS was founded in 1998 by Poppy Gall and Carolyn Cooke who rode a chairlift together and shaped a shared a vision to create a line of technical outdoor apparel exclusively designed for women. Today, ISIS' product is sold in a number of high profile retail channels including REI, Title IX, Coldwater Creek and Orvis.
Carolyn Cooke and Poppy Gall, the co-founders of ISIS, have deep expertise in Outdoor apparel, with 40 years combined experience in the industry prior to founding ISIS. CEI Ventures and CEI Community Ventures have backed the company financially since 2001, and attracted new outside investors FreshTracks Capital in 2007 to continue the expansion of the company as it looks to capitalize on future growth opportunities. The company's capital structure is further supported by a line of credit from the Chittenden Bank, which carries a guarantee from the Vermont Economic Development Authority (VEDA).
Cairn Cross, Managing Director of FreshTracks, sits as an observer to ISIS' Board of Directors.
