Hello Indie Hackers!
Jero and myself, lifelong friends, first began designing a platform to help users find, mix and match furniture pieces online in late 2020. After experiencing several relocations first-hand in Mexico City and Los Angeles, we both realized how time consuming and overwhelming finding the perfect furniture pieces to furnish a new place can become. A few months into my MBA at UCLA Anderson, a revolving community of new tenants hungry to furnish their places, I realized that these pain points applied to more than just our personal furniture shopping journey. On top of this, the large amount of offerings in the market (over 50k retailers) create discovery issues and 'analysis paralysis'.
With this in mind, we set out to build and launch an AI personal shopper (under the name Dequora) to test these hypotheses in the market, which targets to set the foundational stones of a team focused on the long term democratization of interior design.
Excited to share our first MVP with you all: https://dequora.design
