I really enjoyed reading this about Selar. I like that they persevered and kept at it in the early days when it seemed like there was little to no traction. I also value Ben Thompson’s aggregation theory - In the digital age, value is captured by aggregators—platforms that sit between consumers and suppliers.

All the great products I know today, are platforms that connect consumers and suppliers in one capacity or the other.

I found out about Selar in November 2023. I signed up on a course by Ayanime Edem, a Nigerian actress and etiquette coach. It was on ‘Style your Essence’ and focused on dressing well for your body, selecting the right fabrics and knowing where to get them. It was an interesting course and I got to explore Selar during that time and fell in live with it.

Now, reading about how it came to be, has reignited my love for it. I will certainly be using it for my creative endeavours.
