@Stoopingnyc

While the class only required us to get research and insights from potential users, I wanted to reach out to the only other source I knew that was doing something similar to my product's idea. The opportunity to interview the couple that run @stoopingnyc gave me great insight into the operations and complexities of running an Instagram page dedicated to getting furniture into the hands of others.
