Try on clothing online

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Drapr to let shoppers virtually try on clothes from apparel brands online. Our product integrates with brand websites, allowing customers to see how items fit before buying. This reduces return rates and increases sales for brands struggling to replicate the in-store try-on experience on their e-commerce sites.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are based in Berkeley, CA and plan to stay there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Berkeley gives us access to a strong tech talent pool and proximity to customers and partners in the Bay Area retail and tech ecosystems.
