How to Reapply to YC

Great story. Your pitch for the product on the medium article is better than your pitch on your homepage, btw.

Agreed, from the home page I imagined I would have to do measurements by myself and input them into the app, which sounds like a pain. This sounds a lot more appealing, especially the accuracy claim:

> We sell men’s custom shirts by measuring you with your phone’s camera. We’re scientifically proven to be 20% more accurate than a professional tailor, and our shirts start at $69, half the price you would typically pay for a custom shirt of our quality.

We'll have to work on our website then! Probably losing sales due to a poor explanation of our product.

Neat.

As others have noted, the product could benefit from promoting the "camera + smarts = faster, easier and better than visiting a tailor" aspect more.

I'd use this if it could do pants as well.

Marketing materials are always a work in progress!

We're very excited about pants; we don't have them yet, but it's most likely our next product.

Interesting... I work in computer vision and I use body measurements to identify people (as well as features). Its an awesome idea and wish I thought of it!

Best of luck!

Thanks! The machine learning has been incredibly fun :-).

What stops you from starting similar company now? I guess nothing but passion.

Good advice aside, this is some great use of computer vision techniques to solve a real problem!

Great advice, just applied ourselves looking forward to receiving whatever feedback we get.
