We had the good fortune of connecting with D. R. Sara and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi D. R., can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My desire to solve a problem that I personally encountered while shopping for fashion online drove my decision to start my own business. I noticed a lack of efficient and comprehensive fashion search platforms that could help shoppers quickly find what they’re looking for based on their preferences and budget. I also saw an opportunity to reduce the environmental impact of fashion by assisting shoppers in making more informed purchasing decisions. With these objectives in mind, I decided to use my experience as a serial entrepreneur to build a platform that could change the way people shop for fashion online.

What should our readers know about your business?
Sure, my business is a fashion search platform that helps online fashion shoppers search, discover, and find fashion products by their sizes, styles, colors, budgets, and more with one click from trusted brands and stores around the world in one place. What sets us apart from others is that we offer a comprehensive and user-friendly search experience that helps shoppers find exactly what they’re looking for based on their preferences, wants, or needs. We also promote sustainability by providing shoppers with information about their purchases and encouraging them to make more informed choices.

I am most proud of how our platform has impacted the lives of shoppers all over the world. We’ve received numerous messages from customers who have saved time and money while shopping, discovered products they would not have discovered otherwise, and become more conscious of their environmental impact. It gives me great satisfaction to know that our platform is making a difference in the world.

It was not easy to get to where we are now. We faced numerous challenges along the way, such as fundraising, team building, and scaling our business, as any startup would. We overcame these obstacles, however, through perseverance, hard work, and a relentless focus on our mission. We also had the help of mentors, and operators who believed in us and our vision.

Many lessons have been learned along the way, but some of the most important ones are the value of resilience, adaptability, and humility. To build a successful business, you must be willing to learn from your mistakes and pivot when necessary, as well as seek out and listen to feedback from others.

What I want the world to know about our brand and story is that we are committed to creating a better world through data and information found through search by using science and technology. Our platform is not just about making shopping more convenient; it’s about empowering consumers to make choices that align with their values and contribute to a healthier planet.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Los Angeles is an amazing city with so much to offer! If my best friend was visiting, I would take them on a week-long tour that includes the following:

Day 1: We would start the day with breakfast at Sqirl, which is famous for its delicious avocado toast and jam. Afterward, we would take a hike in Runyon Canyon to get some exercise and enjoy the beautiful views of the city. For lunch, we would head to Grand Central Market and try some of the amazing food vendors there. In the evening, we would go to the Hollywood Bowl for a concert or show.

Day 2: We would spend the day exploring the Getty Center, which is one of the most beautiful and impressive art museums in the world. Afterward, we would head to Venice Beach and check out the funky shops, street performers, and food trucks. For dinner, we would go to Gjelina, which is known for its amazing pizza and small plates.

Day 3: We would start the day with a visit to the Griffith Observatory, which has breathtaking views of the city and an impressive collection of telescopes and exhibits. Afterward, we would head to the beach and spend the day soaking up the sun and enjoying the ocean. For dinner, we would go to Nobu Malibu, which is one of the best sushi restaurants in the world and has an amazing view of the ocean.

Day 5: We would spend the day exploring the trendy and upscale neighborhood of Beverly Hills, where we would shop at Rodeo Drive, have lunch at Urth Caffe, and visit the iconic Beverly Hills sign. In the evening, we would go to The Rooftop at The Standard hotel for drinks and a stunning view of the city.

Day 6: We would take a day trip to Santa Barbara and spend the day exploring the beautiful coastal town. We would go wine tasting at the local vineyards, walk around the historic downtown area, and have lunch at The Lark, which is known for its farm-to-table cuisine.

Day 7: We would end the trip with a relaxing day at one of LA’s many beautiful beaches, such as Manhattan Beach or Hermosa Beach. We would spend the day soaking up the sun, playing beach volleyball, and enjoying the ocean. For dinner, we would go to Providence, which is one of the best seafood restaurants in the city and has an incredible tasting menu.

LA has so much to offer, from its beautiful beaches to its incredible food and culture. I would want my friend to experience as much of it as possible!
