My name is Karl and I am a co-founder here at StyleScan. I love to travel, eat, drink, and be merry. I am calculated, thoughtful, direct, uncompromising, and a sweet love-able guy. If those qualities don't irritate you, we could be friends.
My parents are from Haiti and I am grateful for the values they have instilled in me. My blog posts will be about the continuous evolution of StyleScan, focusing primarily on the business side of running the next major player in the fashion tech world. (Remember I said that)
As of today 11/20/2013 we have 11517 users that have joined our style driven community and growing daily. Just a month ago we had a little over 3000 users and are now adding more than 1500 new members a week. If our current trend of user acquisition continues at this rate of growth, I believe that the StyleScan team can grow our user base to 700,000 users by August 2014
In a little over one weeks time, we are launching our online store www.stylescan.co. The site focuses on current fashion trends while offering multiple styling suggestions for items being sold. What makes our online store really cool is that each item sold by StyleScan will have a scan-able tag. Stylescan app users, who have purchased our products, will be able to discover new styling options as well as share their own style as it relates to purchased items!
