Distaff

After working on Distaff alone for two years I knew it was time to grow my team. After carefully searching I was able to find a Co-Founder in Zack Light. He is an SDE with Amazon's AWS division and is very excited to help in our mission to make the world of fashion more accessible.

We applied to the accelerator program, along with many others, with the hopes of receiving an invite to be accepted in the July cohort. 30 seconds into the first meeting we were told we would not be accepted due to our low initial investment, as well as our lack of revenue. Instead of giving up, we explained our story and why the impact of our product shouldn't be ignored. Two meetings later we were approved and the rest is history.

We released our MVP on the IOS app store. We commissioned it on Halloween of 2019 and despite a 6-month increase due to both development and manufacturing constraints as a result of the pandemic we were able to successfully release it. The excitement felt was unmatched

I filed the paperwork online to make Distaff Technologies Inc a Delaware C Corp. It was surreal, taking the idea I had for so many years and deciding to make it official and to start this journey. At this point, I had already found a manufacturer and a development company, but receiving the official paperwork is something I'll always remember.
