TLV Partners’ Post

Hey everyone, We're TryZone – a new startup that's about to shake up how you shop for clothes online.

Imagine saying goodbye to the guesswork when shopping online – with TryZone, you can try on stitched and unstitched clothes before hitting the buy button. We're super pumped to make online shopping way more fun and stress-free. Stay tuned! #TryZone #comingsoon #augmentedreality #virtualtryon

The Loupe team is thrilled to announce the official launch of our desktop-based inventory management tool. For the past three years, card shops have utilized the Loupe mobile app for live broadcasts, community engagement, and product management. The app made it remarkably simple for shops — especially those new to live streaming — to embrace a novel way of selling: Live commerce. However, as our platform has grown, we've seen shops listing their entire inventories to meet increasing demand, generating millions in sales through their phones. With the introduction of our new desktop-based solution, stream hosts and their teams can seamlessly add or update inventory on the fly, with changes instantly visible to viewers. Moreover, they can efficiently create and modify upcoming streams, even while live on the app. At Loupe, our primary objective has always been to provide businesses with a platform where they can skyrocket from $0 to millions in sales within a year while dedicating the majority of their time to engaging with their customers, rather than getting bogged down by administrative tasks. We have an exciting update on the horizon: A refreshed version of our auction tool is coming very soon! But that's just the beginning; we're committed to an ongoing series of updates that will not only enhance efficiency, but also deliver significant cost savings for our valued shops. Stay tuned for more exciting developments. And on a final note, we recently added some new shop partners to our platform this month. Their immediate investment into Loupe has already yielded remarkable results. One of our partners achieved their highest single-day sales record on Loupe in their very first day, surpassing their previous achievements on other platforms. We hope to continue to surprise and delight businesses who want to expand and try something new. (This photo was one of the first "official" images I ever made to show off the simplicity of our platform. What a long road it's been.) #startup #livecommerce #miami #miamitech #sportscards

Understanding your customer behaviour is important when scaling your business. Time to purchase is one of the most important metrics you should know although it isn't easy to establish. Given the changes made of recent with IOS and various ad platforms such as Meta & Tik Tok establishing when a customer first visited your site without them entering their personal details through a form or checkout makes it hard and for most impossible. This can be minutes, hours or in some cases (higher AOV) months. I worked with developers to build a custom tool that helped us establish a customer behaviour such as time to purchase so when scaling, you know exactly when you will see benefit from your investment. #startup #scaleup #growth #advertising #marketing

These two 13 year olds turned their sneaker side hustle to a $354,000 a month business It began with a shared passion for rare sneakers. Steven Schwartz and Jack Sharkey, two teens, entered the world of e-commerce with Sole Sniper, a sneaker bot business that quickly gained traction among enthusiasts. But the journey didn't just stop at sneakers. Spotting a gap in the software market, they launched Whop.

They built this big 10 minute big commerce thing! - Kirana Cart to Zepto. Always wanting to solve real world problems, Zepto wasn't the first of this power couple.💥 From text to speech converter to read their textbooks to carpooling app for school commute they’ve always had their hands on fire. Kaivalya & Aadit have inspired many youngsters to chase their dreams. And here are 5 things I learnt from them, 🔥 Everyone has an idea. But 90% of the outcome relies on your execution - So, never be scared of sharing the idea. 🔥 When you build something, there are always multiple ways to do it. Be it time or tech, make conscious decisions on where you put yourself. 🔥 Hire people smarter than you - who’ve done that before, gone through the learning curve, instead of doing it all by yourself. 🔥 When you get an opportunity, go for it. Because, “Why not?” 🔥 Surround yourself with people who make you feel accountable & push you to make progress. 🔥 Instead of competing with the market, compete with your consumers themselves. Be it user experience or convenience, reflect how you can make it better. Finally, an interesting fact about Zepto - What you think are their top sellers? POT (Contributes 50% of business) - Potato, Onion, Tomatoes 😉 PS: Now, what you think will be their next course of action? #startupstories #unicorn #inspiration

VCs have lost the plot. Had a chat with one recently - loved our product, model, team, and traction but held back investment because our app is ONLY on #Shopify. LOL, loser. 🤦♂️ Shopify has 2.1 million daily active users on average. 4.8 million online stores use Shopify. Shopify accounts for $444+ billion in global economic activities. I think there is some space to scale a bit... #vc #investment #startup
