Without going into too much detail, it's men's apparel and accessories - primarily accessories. Yes, P&G isn't SV. I meant more that the founding team was already pre-connected to the VC world, possibly through law school

It's not quite that easy, unfortunately. The vast majority of us, just by sheer ignorance of the contents of the enormous Federal Register, unknowingly commit at least a few federal felonies per year. If the Feds want you in prison, th
