Closing a deal. Q & A session with the founder of 3DLook

The round ends on May 29th. At this meeting, the founder will answer questions from investors who decided to join the deal.

The 3DLOOK startup platform brings together online shoppers and online retailers, allowing the former to receive the recommended clothing size by adding only 2 photos of their body from a smartphone, and the latter to increase conversion and reduce returns.

The platform allows online retailers to significantly increase sales and reduce returns or exchanges, as well as optimize the design of new clothing collections and the corresponding dimensional nets based on an understanding of how their average customers look in different positions.

Join up and meet the founder of 3DLOOK.

Remember your unsuccessful purchases of clothes in online stores, you will feel all the advantages of this service when selecting clothes.

The company's mission is to create such a concept as a “digital passport” and make it widespread throughout the world among all online shoppers. A digital passport means a 3D model and all parameters of the human body. The company already has more than 250 thousand profiles of online clothing buyers worldwide in the database, and the goal is to collect 100M profiles over the next 5 years.

In order to capitalize on the opportunities that COVID-19 opened, 3DLOOK startup holds an investment pre A round.

The size of the round is $1.5M, of which $870K has already been collected.

Network VC Syndicate Fund is collecting part of the round of $250K for this deal. The lead investor in the syndicate is ICU Ventures. You can enter the transaction with a minimum check of $10K.
