2
To help customers find the fashion they’re
searching for, whatever their style.
We are a Global Fashion Search Platform,
empowering customers to get the items they
want, in the right size, without overpaying.
Our Mission
Today’s fashion shoppers know
exactly what they want, more
than ever before…
Influencers, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, You Tube, etc.
3
Customer’s Problem:
Once they know the
items they want, how
can they find them?

Online Supply is Highly Fragmented & Varies by Retailer
Retailer A Retailer B
Retailer C
SKU Overlap
Unique SKUs
• Most Retailers have little SKU
overlap with other stores, making
searches very hard. Sizing
variance makes this even harder.
• They also have small subsets of
total brand inventory available,
due to high cost of inventory risk.
• When there is SKU overlap,
customers have multiple options
in price, shipping and service.
The Solution:
A Global Fashion Search Platform,
partnering with the world’s top
fashion brands & retailers
