Shoott is a NYC-based, female-run startup that offers "Insta-worthy" 30-minute outdoor photo sessions with a professional photographer in cities all over the US. Because we believe that everyone deserves great photos, our clients only pay for photos they like at $15 per photo or less. Shoott’s offer of convenient mini sessions at an affordable price point creates demand for photo sessions that wouldn’t otherwise happen – bringing photographers back-to-back clients in a single location. Even the best photographers can spend significant time searching for jobs, managing customers and negotiating rates, sometimes more than than they do taking great photos. In the aggregate, this means photographers have to charge higher rates to account for all their additional work. Our ability to consolidate demand for our photographers allows us to pass the benefit on to our customers in the form of affordable pricing, because we believe that nobody should have to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars to have great photos! Our Story Shoott was launched in the summer of 2018 in NYC and has since expanded to 600+ locations across 50+ US cities, running thousands of photo shoots per week. We're proud to maintain a 4.9 average star rating across Facebook, Google and other review platforms based on thousands of reviews and recommendations. Our elite team of talented photographers have shot for some of the world's biggest brands, including Forbes, Elle, GQ, The Cut, V Magazine, Buzzfeed and more. We select only the top 2-5% of applicants and screen for amazing technical and creative skills as well as a winning personality. We'll be expanding internationally in 2021, and are working on enhancing our offering to include retouching, prints and booking sessions on demand.
Explore The World, In Your Kitchen! eat2explore is an award-winning family cooking kit inspiring cultural exploration through diverse global cuisine. We provide local favorite recipes with unique spice/sauce mixes, and educational materials that will transform your kitchen into a fun family learning moments. We currently have 20 countries, spanning across 4 continent groups, to explore and we add 2 new countries every year., Our mission is to educate the next generation on the connectivity of food & culture, and to inspire families to cook, taste and discover different world cuisines and cultures together. We would like to help raise a more culturally sensitive next generation through food, while teaching them the important life skill of cooking. Hands-on cooking and culture exploration is more important than ever in today’s world, where technology and screentime dominates so much of our children's day-to-day. Our explorer boxes give families a fun and engaging way to take a moment away from our devices and reclaim quality family time around the table. Our hope is that through cooking with eat2explore, kids will foster a love for food and cultures around the world. I started eat2explore for my kids - I was momentarily crushed when I discovered that my own kids (who love to travel and try different world cuisines) couldn't even chop an onion! I grew up in Malaysia, and some of my fondest memories are of cooking together with my family while learning and telling stories. So now I design these cooking kits to recreate that experience, and broaden it, using the unique foodways of various cultures as a bridge into fun learning and great eating for curious kids and their families.
Work Your Passion. Live Your Purpose.
