Clinch
Startup Name | Clinch |
---|---|
What problem are you solving? | This innovation improves on what came before because…Although online shopping has evolved and become part of our everyday lives, we find ourselves adopting some pretty creative behaviours trying to get around the current system that just didn’t work. We invented Clinch to address the obstacles that we all face when trying to compare and connect with products online. Its various benefits to the customer/end-user include… While browsing online, Clinch allows you to capture and store pieces from any website pieces are stored, you can then add them to your ‘Library’ for easy reference, ‘My Collections’ if you own it and ‘Wish List’ if you want it. In the past, this problem was solved by… There is nothing that solves the problem that Clinch solves in the marketplace. The previous hacks that people have used in online shopping (as mentioned earlier) just do not work. Sites like Pinterest and Polyvore have some similar functionality but are not solving the same problem. |
What is your solution? | Clinch; collect, compare, create, shuffle and share, your online shopping browser @ the touch of a finger.COLLECT pieces you like while browsing online. Clinch from the web, take a picture or import your own. Pieces are stored in your Library for easy reference. No more screenshots! COMPARE pieces from multiple websites of your choice all on one page CREATE a Canvas for inspiration; piece together your perfect outfit, event or decorate your home. SHUFFLE and scroll through your library to coordinate your own collections. SHARE your pieces, canvases and collections with family and friends. The magic here is that Clinch was designed by myself to address the obstacles we all face while ‘shopping around’ online. |

Tell us about the market & founders, why is this a great opportunity? | T2 Environmental is the second waste management company founded by Graeme Rose. My first company (707) was developed in the UK and grew from nothing to an annual turnover of $10,000,000 in 5 years. We won a number of large national contracts and they are now bringing in around 450 new business contracts every month. We were successful in converting many of our customers to zero waste to landfill. Prior to 707 I was a director in a regional waste management company in Yorkshire where we ran a fleet of 10 waste collection vehicles and serviced over 2000 sites. We were one of the first companies to start offering commercial recycling in the area. My interest in the Environment started at a young age and I always dreamt of being a weatherman. Instead I completed an Environmental Management degree at Lancaster University and became a bin man! |
