While attending the University of Miami, she purchased her second business - a boutique fitness center. She created a quick turnaround, tripling sales and reselling the business in 18 months.
Love That Fit is Ms. Mancuso’s third business, where she is solving the problem of seeing actual look and fit of clothing online.
Product Desc: LoveThatFit
LoveThatFit’s ‘Fit’ technology offers users the most realistic shopping experience from start to finish. To create an account, all the user needs to do is enter measurements and upload a full body image of themselves and then start shopping. The user can mix and match outfits, compare outfits side-by-side, get recommendations, shop with friends and family, and see how the clothes are actually going to look and fit on their own body prior to buying. Our technology is also smart. The more the user uses the LTF tool the better recommendations LTF will give, offering the user a superior online shopping experience.
Beyond being a ‘Fit’ tool for consumers, LoveThatFit has broader potential applications for the entire Fashion Industry. LTF will shorten the production process for developing a product line which is currently 52 weeks from start to finish. LTF collects data that will help the retailer become more efficient, increase sales and understand its customer better. Also, LTF will offer designers a way to increase their market reach and productivity.

Alvin Lau is co-founder of Alohar Mobile, a smartphone software startup based in Palo Alto. Alohar has developed the first Mobile Context-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform for developers to build much more context-aware & persistent mobile apps -- such as Predictive Siri, Google Now & smart personal assistants -- using sensor fusion, LBS & cloud based analytics. Robert Scoble named Alohar Mobile the hottest tech company he met last year. Prior to Alohar Mobile, Alvin started up Dolby Laboratories corporate development group, where he was responsible for technology acquisitions and investments, and was a member of the company's Executive Strategy Committee. Alvin grew up in San Francisco, and graduated from UC Berkeley's Engineering School and Stanford Business School.
Product Desc: Alohar Ambient Intelligence
The Alohar Mobile Ambient Analytics Platform enables ambient location apps. In other words, it efficiently collects location and other mobile sensor data and quickly analyzes it to understand a smartphone user’s behavior. It achieves this while using the minimal amount of battery necessary on the mobile device. The platform is composed of a smartphone client SDK (software development kit) for Android and iPhone and several cloud-based services. The platform uses mobile location, motion, direction, Wi-Fi and timing data, and our patent-pending PlaceRanking system to learn about the mobile user in real time and over time. Therefore it provides more advanced functionality than a conventional mobile LBS (location based services) platform.

Benjamin Briceno
I am looking to meet a hack ninja who would have a mutual interest in creating a system that launches unheard artists- the model would allow music to go completely viral, potentially over night. The monetization model is very disruptive. Lean Startup with tons of existing market research and UX genius. Our team just needs to meet the right partner to help us quickly go live. Anyone want to meet at the mixer?

I am glad you asked, ours is for social good. AND, we have an innovation where the user can buy the entire album for as low as $1- in exchange for some exposure and social networking. Sorry to say we weren't able to make the mixer after all. Maybe next time.
