HISTORY: The idea came a year ago, after a few years of owning & running a successful women's designer vintage clothing store in Copenhagen. Observed how COVID19 affected consumer spending and surge in e-commerce. Inquiries about alternative payment solutions. Consistent increased sales, consumer excitement and interest focused on luxury branded bags. THE BUSINESS IDEA IN A NUTSHELL: Building a community-driven marketplace, facilitating buying and trading exclusive luxury designer bags, thus empowering members within a circular retail model, run by female entrepreneurs. PROBLEM, SOLUTIONS AND VALUE CREATION: People are looking for designer luxury bags, especially in Denmark. The consumer market for luxury bags is a 2.4 USD billion industry worldwide. However, current options for luxury bags can be expensive or “cheap”, low quality unverified or unqualified resellers. Alternatively, they are fakes or non-sustainable high street options. Sustainability awareness is forecast to increase in luxury fashion. Furthermore, there is an increased preference to trusted brands. Through our platform, we give access to luxury! Our goal is to amplify an existing & growing community. Key to success will be inclusivity and access, giving all income group consumers across Denmark a platform to buy, rent, sell and trade their luxury items. Through paid membership tiers, we provide early access to events, sales, discounts and financial incentives. We provide consumers from different income brackets access to luxury items via new financial incentives eg. rental, monthly instalments and exchange initiatives COVID has increased e-commerce spend. It has also decreased small brand sales and increased luxury brand focus. This change in mindset is accelerating the sustainable fashion trends. The market share for vintage and second hand industry has increased exponentially the last few years and expected to overtake consumer spending on new fashion in the next decade. We want to offer an affordable solution - new ways of shopping, giving access to luxury products and building a digital community.

Source is a talent intelligence platform that helps companies move quicker, reduce hiring costs, and acquire top technical talent. Sourcing talent faces three major problems, which we will solve: Problem #1: Every company we worked for had difficulty finding the right software developers. With the plethora of technical skills (1,000+) on the market and uncertainty in seniority, finding the missing piece to achieving the dream team was quite cumbersome. Problem #2: The time to source candidates for one role is between 13 and 20 hours a week. In other words, one-third to a half of a week's work. This leads to inefficiency, high costs, and worst of all incredibly-high burnout rates in the recruiting industry. Problem #3: The internal cost-per-hire is roughly around $4,700, and outsourced costs can reach sums as high as $50,000. Again, per hire. Let that sink in... How do we do it: By giving talent acquisition professionals a powerful talent search engine, they are able to perform smarter, cheaper, and faster than ever before. Instead of being powered by LinkedIn or Google, Sourcemoon is powered by data found on GitHub—the most popular platform among software developers. We use GitHub API, scraping, and parsing algorithms to collect and make sense of data from GitHub (other platforms coming in the future). The market is large and growing: The global talent acquisition & staffing market is valued at $141B, growing 5% YoY, and the global recruitment software market is valued at $8B.
