they fukking won tech crunch?!?!

And yet they are still having trouble getting investors on board... hmmm...

I hope they can hold out till they start making profit. its gonna be an uphill battlr for them. based on the interview they need to add a strong business minded person to their team though.

maybe because image search is hard but they have ex-google people working for them

their e-board is stacked as fukk

they have PhD level engineers IN visual processing. The CEO used to work as a sales rep for a parts distributor. Theres a google account manager on board as well as someone who has experience in industry level sales processing.

They also mentioned that them being in ATL might have limited them but they want to make it work.

i'm excited to see where this goes.

"100k from two family friends"

This is what we as black people should be doing more often. thumbs up to those family members that supported a now successful start up. This is what other races do for one another, Jews do this all the time. We need to stop being so selfish to one another and help our brothas and sisters be the best they can be.

we gotta stop investing in bullshyt though.

thats also important.

this is why education is key...separates the real from the fake

Also the Verge and Tech Crunch are good resources for tech news. All brehs should visit these sites daily.

Also I want to add that a lot of times when you accept VC money they then include contact clauses for the right to make board changes and change management. And these are young people. They don't trust it.

And you can't blame them. They have fiduciary responsibilities. Any VC will tell you that.

She kept it so ATL though

I know people who are close with people on that e-board and shorty poached talent from GaTech like a boss.

Nothing but respect for what's they're doing.

GaTech is one of the best engineering schools in the country. Not sure why we haven't seen more great startups coming out of Atlanta. Black people at Morehouse/Spelman should be linking up with GaTech Black students more often.

This makes me extremely happy.

Don't read the youtube comments:

Or maybe you can stop posting them? Newsflash white people don't like us and therefore will tear us down at any given opportunity. This is obvious and does not need to be highlighted during every positive moment. I'm all for putting them on blast but don't let them rob you of your joy breh.

There are.

The city of ATL is investing in giving people startup funding, accelerators and office space.

The building they're working out of used to be a hotel but is now an event space and office space. Them being close to tech is amazing.

According to their IG the CEO even got invited to the White House.

Theyre making moves out here. Winning that tech crunch competition is massive considering they beat out all that Silicon Valley talent.

Also this highlights what I'm talking about. STEM is massively important. This isn't possible without that work experience and the technical ability to actually create the product. There's nothing wrong with going to work and getting a job... But using that experience is what's needed to get ahead.

And I'm also glad this isn't just another cosmetic product. It's a legit business model for a legit product.

Only a matter of time before Sand Hill Rd. comes knocking on the door.

Don't sleep on the legitimacy of cosmetic and hair care products breh. Brands like SheaMoisture are selling for real.
