From the Co-founders
Jaclyn Ling the CEO of Blynk has a prevailing taste of fashion since ever. “I went from wanting to wear dresses everyday in pre-school, to wearing tinted prescription glasses in high school, to creating a fashion Youtube channel that has near 1 million video views in university, to creating Blynk post-university”.
Shums Kassam- CTO is a developer as well as business developer. The story behind teaming up the company is indeed a different one it started with one “life-changing” shopping trip, then rising to the top in the Next 36 incubator program, to now being a finalist for a Techvibes Startup Award for 2014.

Jaclyn’s quoted:
“Shums was the biggest project I came across in years. I sensed his desperate need of guidance when I saw his closet full of graphic tees and ragged jeans. I tricked him to going shopping with me, when in actuality, its sole purpose was to make him somewhat presentable if we were going to do business together. We took a 4 hour shopping trip, and spent $400. I spent time teaching him how to wear each item and for what occasion. I’m proud to say that today, people go to Shums for fashion advice”.
Shums’ quoted:
“Prior to meeting Jaclyn, I didn’t know the difference between a cardigan and a sweater. Upon meeting her, my lack of fashion interest was hard for Jaclyn to deal with – so I was coerced into going shopping with her. After changing my style, my confidence increased and I found value in dressing and presenting myself better – something my engineering education didn’t teach me. I began to see value in getting styled by a fashionable friend, which inspired us to replicate that experience in an app”.

Challengers in Market
Polyvore- a web platform for style curators. However, there is no recommendation system built within the platform. Pinterest is excellent for providing fashion content, however a person is not able to search a specific occasion type without getting inconsistent and impersonal content as a result.Blynk integrates both!
Blynk’s vision is to collaborate simulated machine intelligence and the human touch to be a personal stylist. The app is soon expected to have refined algorithms to enrich its user interface for users to enjoy every outfit recommendation they receive on Blynk. It is also pushing forward upon building its content to gain a larger international reach.

Native advertisement- Blynk will build brand pages and create outfits with the brand’s apparel to recommend to users. It receives millions of “outfit swipes” each month, and each of these impressions is a way for it to monetize from a retailer or brand.
