Hey, thanks for checking the website out! For the investment banking firms, I just took firms from google and manually assembled the list and for the other lists, I did a mix of googling and pulling from established databases such as Capital IQ, Thomas one, etc.

This is essentially the model I wanted to start off with; Having the measurements and style of certain customer in a subscription business, gives you the luxury of continually learning a customer's taste and sizing creating a nice hedge to competitors and a healthier customer lifetime value.

Interesting website. This is similar to the idea I expressed in another comment of having a lot of data and giving it to companies.

Good points, I was thinking about starting initially with jeans, so I didn't spread myself thin. I would ideally want the product to be open to everyone, but perhaps charging a high premium and focusing on a small number of customers would be the best way to scale. I like the feature you suggested as well.

These are two problems I definitely saw coming. The trust element is a big one, and I've thought about doing what you suggested so as to avoid the logistics, but different jeans and clothing brands fit differently. I think if I have people send in clothes and perhaps have a spreadsheet of how brands fit, I would eventually have an heap of data where I wouldn't need people to send in clothes.

This is exactly the problem I'm trying to solve. I'm a skinny, lanky guy and trying to find jeans my size is a headache for the reason you stated.
Is my startup worth pursuing?
Hey, I set up a landing page for an idea I've been thinking about: http://fabricfit.com/. The basic idea is that people have clothes that fit them great, but it's hard finding clothes that fit you just as well and are stylish. So, you send the clothes to us, we measure your clothes, and send you your clothes and others that are similar in style and fit to the original one you sent us. What do...
