37signals appointed DHH a sort of co-founder after a few years in business. If what they bring to the game is valuable enough then it makes sense.

This will be a great test. Stylist Pick is obviously a copy of shoedazzle. We always hear how U.S startups are better etc. Now if a U.K company with the same model, which is funded, with a headstart in its home market gets beaten by a U.S competitor then that will surely reinforce the notion that American startups/tech companies are better at executing, more aggressive etc.

£8 billion = $13 million. That explains a lot.

Good luck to her and StylistPick – although I have to say that is an odd (and misleading) job title to use for someone who comes in after a big Series A/B.

So how much equity does she hold ?

A great sign to see fashion startups with these kinds of innovative models springing up in the traditionally risk-averse EU consumer space.

I suspect it reflects their status within the company and, specifically, the equity they hold. That’s how it usually works when the co-founder title is applied in retrospect.

How can you ‘appoint’ someone as a “co-founder” a year after the company launches?
