Fashion Tech Startups Emerging From Harvard B-School Runway in Droves

NEXT COMPANY >>
Snapette — Co-founder and CEO Sarah Paiji (above, right) elected last August not to return to HBS for her final year in order to work on Snapette, a mobile platform that allows women to share and browse fashion products within shopping distance of their location. Paiji’s interest was piqued in an on-campus presentation by Rent the Runway, she says. Snapette participated in the 500 Startups accelerator program in Mountain View, CA, last summer. Paiji and her co-founder Jinhee Ahn Kim (left) also got their undergrad degrees from Harvard.
