In 2014, Fashion Tech Forum, Karen Harvey Consulting Group and ELLE Magazine launched the Founders of the Future Challenge, where we invited the most promising fashion tech startups to compete for the Founders of the Future Award.  We selected three finalist companies to present their ideas to a panel of esteemed judges, live on stage.

The winner, Rank & Style, received a seed investment of $50,000, press coverage, and mentoring for six weeks following the contest.  Since the contest, Rank & Style has experienced tremendous growth and continues to innovate in the fashion tech space.
