Manage episode 497469757 series 3650264
Ever screenshotted an outfit and saved it in your Notes app? You're not alone, and today’s guest turned that very habit into a fashion tech startup.
In this episode, I’m joined by Caroline Lakshmanan — co-founder & CEO of Cloud Closet — to explore how fashion, AI, and community are colliding in the most human way possible.
From a viral TikTok trend to building a peer-to-peer fashion platform, Caroline shares how she’s rethinking the way we get dressed, shop, and show up with confidence.
We talk about:
- The rise of social commerce and where e-commerce is falling short
- The importance of keeping emotions and the human touch at the core
- Community as currency and why group chats might be the new department store
- What surprised her most about her platform’s power user behavior
- The powerful partnership with Dress for Success and building tech for good
Whether you’re into fashion, startups, or emerging tech with soul—this one’s for you.
