This week's guest:
When pitching their inclusive eyewear brand to investors, Reframd ’s co-founders Shariff Vreugd and Ackeem Ngwenya often faced doubts about whether a market existed for their product. But if you look beyond the West, says Shariff, the opportunity is massive. In the second of a two-part series on inclusive brands disrupting the eyewear industry, we talk about how Reframd is reimagining eyewear frame design to cater to communities that have traditionally been overlooked.
In this episode we discuss:
- Why certain demographic groups have felt neglected by the eyewear industry
- How Reframd had to rethink its target audience post-launch
- Why Reframd believes its data and insights can have a huge impact on the eyewear industry
- The test to determine if your glasses fit correctly
