The behaviors for the user in online shopping were mostly skeuomorphic until recently. Carts, checkouts, thrifting, bazaars, etc. Online shopping wasn’t that different - and often worse - than IRL. An *instant* lookalike marketplace at the click of a button is an example of a radically different experience that AI can bring forth thanks to Dupe.com (formerly Carrot). What a wonderful feature on The TODAY show about how this product is being used by millions of people only two months since launch. dupe.com. 🛍️📲
I'm so proud of the Dupe.com (formerly Carrot) team. We stayed small since our early days working on Carrot and found a breakthrough feature that was resonating with our users. Then had the courage to refocus our entire product to that feature with a creative/new user experience. We relaunched the product under a new name "Dupe" in April and have organically grown users from 0 to 2 million in record time. This morning, the TODAY Show did a segment on Dupe, showing how we're ushering in a new era in shopping while quickly becoming a household name. https://lnkd.in/ei_cSH6A Huge thanks to our employees, investors, and partners for their deep belief and support. This is a fun mile marker, but we'll wake up tomorrow and get back to business as usual; there's quite a bit left to build here. Taking a beat now to enjoy the journey with Ramin Bozorgzadeh 🍻
