Perkla (http://perk.la) was started by a team of Columbia Business School students who discovered that the breadth of perks and discounts offered to students in stores was not being offered online. We created Perkla to solve this problem. Our team has years of experience in ecommerce, digital marketing, and finance. Our 40+ retail partners include Reebok, Theory, Nine West, Converse, Express and Cole Haan. Our 3,000+ (and growing fast) student members come from over 150 colleges and universities. Check out our Co-Founder Justin Belmont discussing Perkla LIVE on Fox Business News here: http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/3550460465001/heavy-hitters-weigh-in-on-perkla/?intcmp=obnetwork#sp=show-clips Our team was also featured with a 4-page spread in the April 2014 issue of GQ Magazine. This video from that partnership was featured on Times Square’s highest resolution billboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGsiUYLhkdk
