Clear Skincare App!

[ahanabanana]

Hi everyone! I’m Ahana and I’m the Founder and CEO of Clear. Clear is a mobile app that helps consumers get better, unbiased skincare product recommendations. The app works by helping people track their skincare routine, measure skin changes with progress selfies, and fosters a community where you can find people with similar skin types and concerns. We provide a market intelligence solution to beauty brands and retailers, and also work with dermatologists to improve patient - dermatologist interactions.

 

I founded Clear while studying for my Physics degree at Imperial College London in 2021. Y Combinator were the first investors into my company, and they invested while I was still a student. Since then, I’ve raised ~$1M in VC funding from investors including Amino Capital and Harvard Management Company, and we are valued at $15M. We were the 2022 L'Oréal Beauty Tech for Good winners, selected by Beiersdorf for the Beauty Tech Innovation Summit, featured under "Best New Apps" on the App Store, and I was recognised in Forbes 30 Under 30, which at the age of 23, made me the youngest on the Forbes technology list: https://www.forbes.com/30-under-30/2023/europe/technology?profile=ahana-banerjee.

 

Excited to be a part of this community!

Welcome, @ahanabanana Your journey with Clear is seriously impressive—Y Combinator backing, $1M+ in funding, and a Forbes 30 Under 30 spot at 23? That's next-level! Skincare tech is such a booming space, and the combination of AI-driven recommendations and community engagement sounds like a game-changer.

Would love to hear more about how you’re tackling challenges like product bias and scaling the user base! Looking forward to seeing more of Clear’s success in the startup world. Glad to have you here!
