It may not be the business idea he had in mind when he joined the Get Started programme, but after participating in the programme Steven Lammertink has developed a great concept that is worth sharing: Cirqle. Through using a gigantic database and sales-widgets Cirqle aims to become the link between fashion brands and bloggers who want to make money.

Bloggers and sites can sell fashion items from more than 250,000 brands, designers and retailers, as Cirqle has built a product database of over 11 million products worldwide. Additionally, together with a select group of fashion influencers from their network, Cirqle also launches collections of their favorite products and brands on the Cirqle homepage. This includes fashion collections from Harrods, Mr. Porter, Luisa Via Roma, Farfetch and Asos- all curated by top taste makers.

By now Cirqle is becoming a big success and has recently been featured in the HuffingtonPost as one of five eCommerce startups to learn from, as well as startup of the week in a blog on Sprout. Cirqle has already raised seed funding of 400,000 euros and is currently raising venture capital in order to grow into an even bigger success. In addition you can vote for Steven to win the LOEY Starters Award 2015.   Curious to know more? Check out the Cirqle website!
