Parfait is making waves by being the first company to use artificial intelligence and facial recognition to make custom wigs. This means you can have a wig that suits your style perfectly. Fun fact about Parfait, the company received financial backing from none other than Serena Williams’ venture company, Serena Ventures last year.
Moreover, a group of well-known venture companies like Ulu Ventures, Unshackled Ventures, Contrary Capital, Visible Hands, TRUE Capital’s Culture Fund, and some famous people like Omar Johnson, Chamillionaire, Tristan Walker, and Upland Workshop have also backed this exciting project.
Recently, Serena Williams posted an Instagram Story about the company, which also is built on sibling bonds, just like Venus Williams and Serena Williams’ glorious tennis career. The text on the story read, “Love Sisters Doing Amazing Things.”
