Organizational Overview Hair Sense is an app built to change the hair care industry. It facilitates interactions between brands, influencers, stylists, and consumers. Its current iteration focuses on a market segment that is simultaneously growing and underserved—curly and kinky haired consumers. Once firmly established with this target market, Hair Sense’s services and business model would be easily expanded to a universal audience. Like many companies, Hair Sense was born when its founder, Kemba Hall, looked for a product she wanted and couldn’t find it for herself. While busy completing a master’s degree in electrical engineering and computer engineering, Ms. Hall wanted an easy way to find new styles based on her hair type and the products that she already had on hand. Although she was frustrated in her initial search, the idea spurred her to conduct market research interviews with over a thousand consumers and launch the Hair Sense progressive web app (PWA). The Hair Sense app is designed to be an all-encompassing marketplace and community space for textured hair. Businesses, stylists, influencers, and consumers discover new products, partnerships, and trends through the app. Consumers can easily search for products from the best companies that are endorsed by trusted influencers to fit their personal hair type. They also have the option of scheduling one-on-one beauty chats with influencers for a completely unique makeover experience. The commissions for these virtual styling sessions and potential product endorsements have the added benefit of driving influencers to partner with the site—enabling our active users to grow on multiple fronts. The COVID-19 shutdown has further underscored the hole in the marketplace for personalized virtual beauty routines. Hair Sense is poised to use this new trend in the haircare industry to fuel its growth. Since starting in 2019, we have participated in the First Founders Accelerator, Cohort 13 of Founder Gym, and released our PWA. We are executing the development and launch of several exciting new features, such as the ability for the app to detect hair type via a cellphone picture. Hair Sense is also looking to start our first round of fundraising in the near future. Board Member’s Impact Potential Hair Sense is at the start of our scale-up, and we are looking for several advisors to help guide our business strategy. Our company utilizes the power of social networking, smartphone technology, and social trends to offer consumers, influencers, and hair industry professionals a revolutionary marketplace and community. We want to balance our efforts to bring this new model to a greater audience with the expertise of seasoned industry pr
