“If we don’t start hustling… if we don’t start pushing! Then what is this all for?”
What started as a conversation between friends about pain points shopping online two years ago today stands as Sortd with $1.26m in Pre-Seed funding. The all-in-one platform empowers shoppers to save, compare, share and check out from thousands of e-commerce sites.
Founded by commercial lawyer Alexis Aaron and film producer Jodine Wolman, the pair bootstrapped their idea with a loan, worked on it two days a week while juggling full-time careers, and created an MVP with 500 users. Within nine months, they have secured Pre-Seed funding, launched Sortd’s app, and are affiliated with leading retailers, including The Iconic, Farfetch, and Shopbop.
