Countr is a NYC-based startup building a social shopping app that combines product discovery, peer recommendations, and multi-retailer checkout in one place. Founder Manon Roux describes how a machine learning-based feed personalizes product discovery across 160+ retailers, letting users shop with friends, earn money for content, and complete purchases without leaving the app. The platform targets younger consumers who rely on social media for product discovery and aims to close the gap between inspiration and checkout.
