Draft:Carly Bigi
| Submission declined on 9 March 2024 by Jamiebuba (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Carly Bigi is an American technology entrepreneur and investor best known as the founder of Laws of Motion.
Early life and education[edit]
Carly holds a Bachelors of Science degree in Human and Organizational Development and Financial Economics from Vanderbilt University and an MBA from Columbia Business School[1].
Career[edit]
Deloitte Consulting[edit]
From 2012-2015, Bigi worked at Deloitte Consulting in Chicago, IL.[2][3]
Laws of Motion[edit]
In 2017, after graduating from Columbia Business School[4], Bigi launched[5] Laws of Motion, a startup that provides virtual sizing technology for the apparel industry.
Laws of Motion predicts customer body measurements virtually.[6] The technology provides real-time metrics reporting about its impact to return rate, conversion rate, and average order value.[citation needed]
Laws of Motion’s AI sizing technology was incubated in the direct-to-consumer womenswear brand.[7]
In 2020, Laws of Motion was named as Best Breakthrough Startup by Glossy Magazine[8].
The Hero Initiative[edit]
In March 2020, while sick with Covid-19, Bigi pivoted Laws of Motion’s supply chain to produce personal protective equipment (PPE) to support Covid-19 emergency response efforts.[9]
In 2020, Bigi and her team produced over five millions pieces of single-use PPE for state governments and the Department of Defense, and donated over one million masks to communities and front-line providers in need.[10]
In 2020, Laws of Motion produced and delivered 2.4 million single-use medical gowns to New York State in response to the request for emergency response support for Covid-19.[11]. Upon receipt and use of the product, New York State withheld payment of $10.45M. Bigi responded by trying to resolve the situation, ultimately suing the state[12] for breach of contract for nonpayment.[citation needed]
Columbia Business School[edit]
Bigi is an adjunct lecturer at Columbia Business School[citation needed] and teaches a published case about Laws of Motion in Entrepreneurial Strategy.[13]
Philanthropy[edit]
