Scoutfit

Scoutfit is a shopping service that saves people time and money by letting them “scout” items online and find out when they drop in price. The service further helps people by notifying them of valuable discount codes and online promotions that reduce the price of the desired item when it is time to buy. Items can be scouted across hundreds of top shopping sites, from favorite online destinations including Amazon and Nordstrom, niche retailers such as Nasty Gal and Topshop, to specialty retailers such as West Elm and Sephora. At Scoutfit.com, shoppers can also organize, create, and manage entire wish and gift lists. Additionally, Scoutfit searches and delivers recommendations on products shoppers might also want, based on the styles, brands and retailers they have already selected. Scoutfit was launched in private beta in summer 2013; public beta opened in November 2013. Scoutfit was founded by a team of three: Lainie Herrera is an expert online shopper who always seeks a bargain. She spent 10 years as a project manager for a consulting firm, honing her online shopping skills. She is the Founder and VP of Marketing and serves as the voice of Scoutfit. Jeff Ryan is the innovative mind behind the Scout It button, working tirelessly to create a unique product that cannot be duplicated. He brings 10 years of entrepreneurship, web development, and web design experience to the team. Jeff is co-founder and VP of Technology. Nathan Liu is the business. Prior to joining Scoutfit as co-founder and CEO, he spent 10 years at Pacsun as a VP in e-commerce pricing and promotions. He turned an idea into a business model and brings concept and technology together into something that makes sense.
