As some background for those of you who might be curious, my company and its brands (Imprint, Need, and Foremost) was acquired by Q Fifty One in October (https://techcrunch.com/2016/10/20/menswear-retailer-q-fifty-one-is-acquiring-edition-collective-to-reinvent-their-e-commerce-strategy/). I've joined Q Fifty One as President and CEO of a new digital group, focusing on developing some new ideas...

Hi! I'm the founder of Imprint and I'm so thrilled to be introducing our iOS app today, alongside our all-new site and rebranding. The company was created two years ago as Need, a curated retail and lifestyle concept for men. We've amassed a tremendous amount of users and members and, after expanding internationally in November 2015, felt the need to rebrand, rebuild, and adjust for the future....

Here to answer questions, friends. From a high-level, this is my solution to scale. Need (http://neededition.com) has been growing exceptionally quickly, but its growth is predicated upon the virtue of its focus and perceived smallness. So, in order to grow without sacrificing what makes us interesting in the first place, I came to believe that we could build several complementary concepts....

You are a prolific man, @mijustin.

We (i.e., neededition.com) have partnered with Rise to provide top-notch gifts, coffee, literature, and so forth for their members. They're thinking a lot about the user experience. And it's a fantastic team. I have high hopes. (Granted, though, I'm biased.)

Interesting idea. I've also seen something similar in http://www.getchui.com/
