Lara Druyan understands the issues with online shopping (especially for women). It is best summed up in a Gartner, Inc. report from May 2007, "Making a purchase on the Web is an act done primarily in solitude, rather than in the presence of others. The dimension of 'social shopping' has yet to be fully exploited and offers great potential for growth and disruptive change." My company is a bit too early for a venture round but Lara offered her assistance in a variety of useful ways. It was a pleasure to meet with a VC that had great domain expertise, offered specific advice, and genuinely wanted to help make my life easier, with no strings attached.
