B) 🏦 Pre-Seed Investors 🏦 - Interested in investing in B2B2C Markeplace startups

Key Problems We Stove:
1) We’re living in the Neo industrial revolution, In the past, Black people were not able to participate. Today, Black people must become “Technology Development” competent in order to prevent a mass poverty pandemic in our community by 2050.

2) Access to healthy hair care products and services is vital to one's self image and, if neglected, can adversely impact one's mental and emotional health leading to conditions such as Body Image disorder and chronic depression.


THE HISTORY BEHIND "LOOKR":
We named our company "LookR" based on the historical American slang phrase "She's a real Looker," commonly used in the mid 20th century to describe a physically attractive woman. During that time, American society did not consider Black features as beautiful nor worthy of accentuating.

As a result, Black women's beauty and hair care needs were left unaddressed in the overall Beauty and Haircare industry.

We redefined the phrase "She's a Looker" and dropped the "e." Our message to Black Women is, "All shades of your natural skin tone and all types of your Kinky Coily Hair are intrinsically stunning.

Our Brand mission is to ensure that all Black women and men can easily access hair and beauty care products designed for their needs anywhere Black, African, and Afro-Latino peoples are found.
