KoalaDeal Details
What Is KoalDeal? KoalaDeal is like your personal shopper on the internet. We learn about your tastes and preferences, and bring you online deals you're sure to love. What Was The Inspiration? The idea hit me like a ton of bricks one day while riding the "L" downtown. My roommate had emailed me to make sure I had seen the day's Groupon for the restaurant that I loved next door. Since I get tons of emails - I had missed it, and almost missed out on a great deal. Then, my girlfriend called me because she had found a ridiculous deal on a pair of mountaineering boots. They were 80% off (a big deal on items that cost $800 normally) and happened to still have my size. I would have never found it had she not emailed me. That's when it hit me. Tripit does a great job of managing my travel. Mint does a great job of managing my finances. Pandora can recommend music based on my preferences. Why doesn't a site exist that gets to know me, and manages my shopping? An automated personal shopper - so I don't have to rely on the goodwill of my friends. With that insight - KoalaDeal was born!
