Being a bit of a logo nerd what first got my attention to Storefront was their logo. I quickly grabbed a sticker from their table at the Startup Alley at the RealTech SF event. I just loved the typography. Then I met Tristan Pollock, the co-founder of Storefront. I complimented him on the logo and asked what they were all about. His response was short and sweet, “We are the marketplace for short term retail space.” You can watch the video below to get a better idea.
Imagine this scenario. You’re someone who is a big fashion maven. You blog, tweet, post, pin and bleed about fashion all day long. You become a taste maker and pretty soon you’ve got 30,000 followers. How do you turn that influence and passion in to a business?
With Storefront you can quickly find a space, fill it with your hand picked inventory, and boom, you’re in business! Sign up for a Square account, send a tweet, write a blog post and now your online followers are real life footsteps walking in to your…storefront. Maybe it’s open for a month? Or just a weekend. It’s the perfect solution for this maker, bespoke, gig-ecomony we find ourselves in.
I’m really impressed with the great ideas and talent that are entering our space. Best wishes to Tristan and his team at Storefront.
