Elevator Pitch | Call for Submissions
In our final post in a week of articles on e-commerce innovation, we are pleased to launch Elevator Pitch, a recurring feature on BoF that will showcase one exceptional fashion-technology start-up per month and provide valuable feedback from a panel of fashion, technology and investment experts, as well as the BoF community.
LONDON, United Kingdom – Ever since the early days of BoF, we have taken a keen interest in the exciting emerging activity at the intersection of fashion, technology and entrepreneurship. From the first article we published about Gilt Groupe back in November 2007, when the company had only 5 employees, to our four-part series on FashionStake, which last week announced its acquisition by Fab.com, to our early features on platforms like Pinterest and Tumblr, which have gone on to attract tremendous attention from the fashion community, BoF has a track record for being the first to spot and support the most innovative start-ups making a mark in the fashion space.
As we have examined over the last few days here on BoF, we are currently witnessing a veritable surge of innovation and venture capital interest in the fashion-technology space. Amongst e-commerce start-ups alone, we have seen the emergence of new business models like curation, subscription retail, social merchandising, mass customisation, retail gaming and collaborative consumption.
What business models will be next to emerge? Who will be the next Net-a-Porter, Gilt Groupe or Pinterest? If you have a promising business idea in the fashion-technology space or are already working on a start-up and looking to raise your profile or attract funding, we are putting out a call for your Elevator Pitch: concise pitches that you might give to a potential investor, partner or key hire if you bumped into them in an elevator.
For entrepreneurs wishing to participate, please respond to the questions below for the opportunity to have your pitch featured here on BoF and receive valuable feedback from a panel of fashion, technology and investment experts.
