Know you. Fit you.

Know You. Fit You.
Personalization for a more sustainable world

Commitment

More personal choice creates a more sustainable society.

In the past, mankind needed to increase productivity to prosper.

To increase productivity, sizes were standardization, production was optimized.

Today, in countries where production has advanced, supply exceeds demand.

Goods are in surplus. Unused. Discarded.

By choosing standardization and optimization, we moved away from customization and personalization.

By embracing individuality and personal choice, we can eliminate surplus and waste.

Technology is how we maximize and multiply the power of the individual.

It’s how we update our concept of capitalism.
From optimizing the collective, to optimizing the self.

Know you. Fit you.
