See how ViSenze allows online users to search through captured photos

It raised around US$4M funds in just two years.

Forget about typing keywords on web to look for fashion products. ViSenze was created in an attempt to simplify the visual web by helping users find visual things visually without the need for keywords. Hence, the idea Visual + Sense becoming ViSenze.

In an interview with ViSenze's CEO Oliver Tan, he noted that 74% of online users today complain that keyword search engines are inadequate in helping them find things on web while 40% wished for their search process to be more visually intuitive.

Founded in 2012, Visenze is composed of a well-balanced team combination of two experienced entrepreneurs in fashion, Roger Yuen and Oliver Tan and two hard-core scientists Professor Chua Tat-Sen and Dr. Li Guangda.

This startup which seeded on the founders own money successively raised about US$4m in just a span of two years having Rakuten Ventures, Walden International, UOB Venture Management as their major investors.

Oliver claims that the uniqueness of ViSenze stems from a novel combination of 4 things: smart visual technology, deep domain knowledge of things we want to recognize, making our visual tools easy to deploy, and creative entrepreneurial ideas.

"ViSenze is not a just another visual technology company. Our aim to is solve real world problems and challenges of the visual web, and create new application opportunities creatively in areas done none before or rarely experimented before. We love challenges and creative applications", said Oliver.

With their internal gag "invisible solution (visual technology) meets visible problem (visual search problem in fashion)", the whole ViSenze team aims to make a difference in the visual world that is why they are recruiting like-minded individuals to join their exciting journey to address "Stop Searching and Start Finding Issue."

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
