SilkRoll

SilkRoll was founded by Janet Wu, who spent 10 years developing her style and taste in fashion while working around the world as an investment banker. Her lucrative career allowed her to create the closet of her dreams, but left her always wanting more... With a wealth of financial knowledge Janet took a risk and became the CFO of a cleantech startup and eventually moved to San Francisco where her entire high-end wardrobe became obsolete. Everyday she looked at the fashion she loved but no longer wore and was unsatisfied with the options to purge this valuable collection. She contemplated, "how can I keep the value of this fashion and share it with someone who would appreciate my style? On the 4th of July, 2015, Janet shared her idea with Erin Wold. Erin always dreamed of owning this kind of fashion but with an abundance of student loan debt her ability to invest in high quality fashion was limited. By this time, Erin had already spent 4 years in operations at a startup that was in skyrocket growth mode, so she knew her expertise in scaling operations was as valuable as this idea, she became Janet's co-founder. As they began building SilkRoll, friends connected them to a renowned photographer, San Francisco's Best of the Best: Gavin Farrington. His tech background, professional edge, and passion for automation & perfection makes SilkRoll's products appear so desirable online that our customers can realize the real value that their style deserves! When SilkRoll's 1st version of the website needed a serious reboot to facilitate growth, Anusheel Bhushan joined the team to provide his technical expertise. A software engineer by training, and having spent 5 years founding & scaling his own agile app development startup where he managed hundreds of projects, Anusheel knew exactly what SilkRoll needed in its technology to go to the next level. Together, we bring all of our brains and hearts to the table, by serving our customers right, we get to change the world.
