About Sponsors:
Arête's vision is to not only empower authenticity and inspire confidence through tech-enabled fashion but to entirely revolutionize the user experience in the fashion e-commerce sector, moving away from search-based shopping.
By harnessing the power of AI, Arête is designing a hyper-personalized styling and shopping iOS app. We do this by catering to the unique needs of each individual user and curating outfits based on a user's location, occasion, emotion, and budget. Our AI model learns a user's body shape, complexion, and stylistic preferences, enabling it to curate the perfect outfits using (i) the clothing in a users' closet and (ii) net new items available for purchase on our platform. For these recommendations, we work with small to medium-sized brands, creating an exciting discovery process for our shoppers and connecting brands with the shoppers most excited about their products.
Alternew unlocks fashion circularity through elevated post-purchase services. We do this through our network of local tailor shops covering every specialty and price point wrapped in a software layer that ensures each interaction meets brand standards. We also negotiate pricing and provide data back to the brand about their post-purchase customer experience. With Alternew, brands finally become active participants in the circular economy and build longer, more personalized relationships with their customers.
Think of The PS Collective as your best friend's closet. THE PS COLLECTIVE is a peer-to-peer rental and resale marketplace helping women find clothing that fits both body and style. We help bring circularity to the everyday woman's wardrobe while opening access to high-quality, petite-friendly clothing for life's most important events. We offer proprietary tailoring services that allow for temporary alterations for each wear of a rented dress, guaranteeing a perfect fit.
