Announcing our 5th LGiLab investment: StyleShake

We are happy to announce our fifth LGiLab investment in StyleShake today.

For now we can't say much about the company but StyleShake is best described as an e-commerce bespoke fashion brand that operates in the UK and Israel. Apart from garment design the service has strong community identity.

The project is lead by Iris Ben David, CEO & founder who worked with top international clients on varied award winning Internet projects. She has over 10 year of international experience in various fields of new media and online advertising.

The team is also composed of

• Romina Karamanea – Creative Director, award winning bright fashion designer, who was recently selected as one of the 100 most promising worldwide fashion designers. Her work has been covered on many prestigious magazines and her recent collection has been shown on London and Milan fashion weeks.
• David Yanovsky – CTO, Chief software architect and Innovator. Formally founder and CTO of Jetro Platform. Before that, he was the CTO of RunOnWEb, San Diego. David Brings to StyleShake 15 years of comprehensive software industry experience.

The company is in stealth mode but will be soon offering a great innovative service. The idea is quite powerful and we look forward to see how it is going to be adopted by consumers.

In addition to StyleShake, LGilab has invested in Bp Tech Interactive Technologies, Vestopia, OutBrain and TimelessCities

More things are on the way. Stay tuned.

VesTopia launches in private beta, invitations left

VesTopia, one of our portfolio companies (named until now Increditrade) , just launched their private beta, and we are very excited about it.

We have said much so far about it, on purpose. Their service actually lets you follow, in real-time, the real transactions and holdings within the personal portfolios of professional investors. All is done in a completely transparent mode, and while you get the pure transactions, you can also read about the strategies and opinions in the Investment Directors' blogs, and get alerts in RSS, SMS, email etc.

In the screenshot below you can see the real profile of one of the Investment Directors, Mike Gooson. You can see more pics and previews here

VesTopia are currently in a private, invitation mode only, but they still have some beta invitations left. So if you're interested, Click here or use invitation code LGI1ST in registration page
