Check out the next edition of our new series spotlighting our remarkable portfolio companies and the work they are doing to disrupt their industries! Today we want to highlight Courtney Caldwell, MBA, CEO and Co-Founder of ShearShare, Inc.?- rent space to work anywhere for any price for the beauty & barbering industry! Read on to learn more about Courtney and ShearShare! ?? What They Do: ShearShare is a B2B platform that connects salon, spa, and barbershop owners to individual stylists to fill their unused salon space on demand. Salon and barbershop owners make money on their empty suites and stations, and licensed cosmetologists and barbers get access to professional, affordable space to work without having to sign a long-term contract or work by commission. ?? Why They Do It: As award-winning salon and barbershop owners, ShearShare was the solution for a problem that Courtney & the founding team was trying to solve for themselves. They realized that they were on the right path when the "manual matching" they did for three years started to feel like a full-time job. This led them to build the first B2B mobile app that connects owners to pros to fill their empty space. ?? How We Met: Chloe Capital first reached out after ShearShare won the 43North competition in 2021. We were impressed with the experienced team and their vision to disrupt the salon industry. ?? Chloe Effect: Courtney says it best herself, “Chloe Capital has helped us in the most vital way - providing access to capital”. To pay it forward, ShearShare has plugged into our ecosystem by securing speakers for Chloe Capital events and participating in both virtual and in-person meetups with the community. ?? What is Next for ShearShare, Inc.: ShearShare has had a major year, securing notable clients such as JCPenney Salons, and partnerships with Lloyd's and Mastercard. They’ve seen a 82% YoY increase in bookings and were awarded a 2024 Award of Excellence for Integrated Mobile Experiences from Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts. There’s more on the horizon so stay tuned for updates! Read more about ShearShare here https://lnkd.in/eJRAKsmk and check out https://lnkd.in/eHbfYaJK #HAIRbnb #Marketplace #B2B

Today we want to highlight JJ Xu, CEO and Founder of TalkMeUp - an AI communication coach at your fingertips. Read on to learn more about JJ and TalkMeUp! ?? What They Do: TalkMeUp leverages proprietary AI to blend effortlessly into customers’ workflows as a SaaS solution. TalkMeUp’s AI-driven approach removes bias from the equation and the platform is built for scale, irrespective of geographical location. ?? Why They Do It: The idea for TalkMeUp originated from a survey JJ did while pursuing her MBA at Carnegie Mellon University. Communication training was ranked the most valuable resource for one’s career success, yet good and affordable training was hard to access, sparking JJ’s mission. ?? How We Met: JJ first met Chloe Capital in 2022 through an introduction from HearstLab, one of our incredible ecosystem partners. JJ was then selected to join our 2022 Invest in Women x Pittsburgh accelerator program. ?? Chloe Effect: TalkMeUp has benefited from our extensive network of partners. As JJ says, Chloe Capital is “wonderful [at] helping us strategize and make introductions to prospects and industry experts”. JJ has also actively given back to the Chloe Capital ecosystem, coming back to mentor the 2024 Invest in Women x Pittsburgh accelerator cohort. ?? What’s Next for TalkMeUp: TalkMeUp has had an exciting year, being named as a Top 20 AI in Training Company by Training Industry, Inc.. They’ve also maintained a 90% renewal rate since their product launched in Q1 2022, a testament to their client-centric approach to growth. Coming soon they’re launching upgraded content metrics that are context aware, providing users with a more personalized learning experience.
