Quick answers
What is Sean Snyder known for?
Founding Trend Trunk, the Canadian peer-to-peer fashion marketplace, and later Engagement Agents, which helps retail tenants use the marketing channels their shopping-centre leases already pay for.
What was his TechTO talk about?
Thinking Outside the Box, presented at the TechToronto meetup at Ryerson's DMZ in November 2014 — how a bootstrapped marketplace competed with US rivals that were raising money to build warehouses.
What was the stylist network?
Vetted, background-checked stylists across Canada who would meet a seller, photograph and list their clothes and handle the shipping — so the marketplace never held inventory but sellers never had to do the work.
