Ep. 2: Zach Hudson, Onton
<p>Could you outship and outshine other startups in your sector if you’d raised 25 times less? Zach already is. Onton is building e-commerce search that finds exactly what you’re looking for with natural language and images.</p><p>Online shopping today is crazy inefficient. The average shopper spends 15 hours to make ONE purchase decision.</p><p>Onton is bringing us to a world where that purchase decision will happen with 1 search on 1 website. And they’ve made serious progress: Deft already converts 5 times better than traditional retailers.</p><p>My favorite part of Onton? The behavior change I think they’re going to facilitate: conscious consumption. Onton will make sure you don’t spend 15 hours being bombarded by ads that make you buy things you’d never have cared for.</p><p>Note: Deft (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://shopdeft.com">shopdeft.com</a>) is now Onton (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://onton.com">onton.com</a>). They rebranded shortly after this podcast.</p>
