Universal eCommerce search

Hi,

I started two ecommerce companies. I saw this request for startups yesterday and would love to work with someone on this if you are interested in building:

Simplified search, discovery, and purchase across the web

Shopping online has become a cumbersome and challenging process that requires dozens of tabs and infinite scrolling to find a single item. Even then, it's often not the best option for an individual. Existing solutions have taken an aggregator approach, partnering with brands and then curating amongst that subset of available SKUs for users. While helpful, this is limited by the brands and retailers a single aggregator can partner with.

Today, with the metadata that exists on e-commerce sites as well as advances in computer vision, there's an opportunity for a new search and discovery tool that indexes all products on the web (not just inventory catalogs from partner brands), suggesting the most personalized options for an individual user.

The market is massive (TAM for apparel is $300B, $102B of that online), and e-commerce as a percentage of overall spend is growing, especially as covid has driven users to adopt further online shopping behaviors.

We have become accustomed to personalized search in many other aspects of our lives (Netflix, Spotify, Instagram) — we need something for online shopping that's universal in reach and individual in suggestion.
