5 Fashion Tech Companies That Are Making Waves August 21, 2014
Viktoria Ruubel, CEO and Co-Founder of the New York-based company, decided to build a professional network for creatives that was based on trust and transparency. She wanted to ensure that creative professionals including photographers, designers, models, make-up artists, and hair stylists could have direct contact with clients, and through this direct contact, establish trust and get paid. To prevent bragging, Merocrat is a project-based environment, where clients can assign credit for projects completed and talent can accept credit. The site also serves as a platform through which creatives and clients can setup payment plans, without going through agents.

“Wear your best bib and tucker.” Sari Azout and Sari Bibliowicz revived this out-moded phrase for “wear your best outfit” to name their pre-owned clothing trading community Bib + Tuck. The New York-based pair set out to rebrand second hand clothing with their fashion startup. Bib + Tuck is a women’s-only, invite-only community that allows members to swap garb. There is no money transferred on the site. The “shopping without spending” service allows members to upload items that are on the way out and assign a Bib + Tuck buck value they would accept for the item in exchange. Items and bucks flow through the system, without real dollars entering the picture. Although no money is exchanged between users, one buck is equivalent to one US dollar. If a member has not yet acquired enough Bib + Tuck bucks through offering clothing on the site, they are able to buy bucks directly from Bib + Tuck.

In what fashion do you suggest a startup company to maintain its
accounting records? -

Return to list

It really depends on the level of operation and the economic resources available to the startup company. In instance where the young company can accommodate at least one accountant or a bookkeeper, this option is available to it. A small company with enough resource to outsource the task may choose this path as well. Either way, PC Touch Services Inc. will assist a startup company achieving its business goals through well-maintained accounting records.
