Ahead of a very exciting Everewear pre-launch, I wanted to take the time to re-introduce myself.
Hi 👋🏻 My name is Anna (you can also call me El), and I am the founder of Everewear. I started Everewear out of my apartment during my junior year of college, which was 3 years ago. Although Everewear really started when I was a teenager learning about the incredibly harmful impacts of the fashion industry.
I started thrifting most of my clothes, as it was an accessible price point to shop sustainable fashion. I could also find a wide variety of styles and brands that I loved. However, I quickly realized that I cared enough about sustainability to spend hours in a Goodwill, but in order for secondhand to truly take market share away from fast fashion, the experience needed to be easier. This realization led me down the path of the capabilities of AI and machine learning to help implement an easier way to shop through recommendations.
$200k in funding, a partnership with Goodwill, and a team of advisors and mentors later, the pilot for Everewear is finally here. I am so excited to keep building out my vision for this product and to have you alongside with me!
Outside of building Everewear, I volunteer in conservation with the Indianapolis Zoo and as a CASA through Kids Voice of Indiana. I am also a very mediocre gardener.
