Kaleidoscope is going to be massive! I told my sister about it this morning, and within an hour all of her non-Iphone friends were using it. I think you really stumbled onto something huge here Ryan.

I'm really curious though--How and why do you go into something so fashion-centric (I'm assuming to be a bit out of your comfort zone) with such a high barrier of entry? Obviously it's in the e-commerce sector, but fashion is it's own beast.

Good luck and congratulations.

Like any sector that hasn't been totally disrupted yet, it's inevitable that technology will change the game. But subject matter expertise and relationships do matter a lot (especially in fashion) so we brought on a director of biz dev who's worked at Chanel and other fashion brands and we are pursuing partnerships with top names in fashion.

Plus, my Stanford/Google background notwithstanding I actually do enjoy fashion :)
