This is a startup focusing on eyeglass. It is a discount online eyeglass retailer with a huge addressable market and a disruptive product. Alex Cocotas says, that he would bet his career on Warby Parker- ‘Huge addressable market, disruptive product, low-ish valuation on its most recent round (~$110 million), so simple I even made my mom a believer."

An investor in Warby Parker was found saying "It came out of the gate fast and hard, and solves a real problem. No one has been able to cut Luxottica [the force behind LensCrafters and Sunglass Hut] out of the market yet."

IFTTT was a company that every investor wanted to invest into, it closed a great deal with a seed funding amount of $1.5 million from some great investors like - Lerer, Betaworks, Grelock, CrunchFund, Founder Collective, SV Angel, TechStars' David Tisch and others.

It is a powerful and popular idea; though it is a little abstract it is indeed cool. It is the right time to join this company if you would really want to make a better living financially.
