Le Spex — StartupBus Pacific

Introducing Team Le Spex

Le Spex came about when team member Imteaz was looking for a pair of glasses for himself. Having a slightly wide face, he realised that he had a very limited choice when it came to choosing glasses at the optometrist. He also has a fun, cool and quirky sense of fashion and style which makes him a bit picky when purchasing glasses. So where could Imteaz design, virtually try on and print glasses with his oddly shaped face and particular style?

Le Spex is an online service where consumers can customise their own glasses, try it on using augmented reality and order printed 3D glasses in a fast and efficient way.

The team formed on Day One of the first Pacific start-up bus after Imteaz pitched his idea about customisable 3D glasses to the bus. The international team consists of project manager, Imteaz (Australian from Bangladesh); designer, Pierre (French); marketer, Angela (Australian born Chinese); and programmers, Franck (French), Ricardo (Australian from Brazil) and Isabelle (Australian with Filipino/Belgian background).

Imteaz has been working at Reckitt Benckiser for 6 years and currently starting up the e-commerce channel for the company. He has been thinking of having his own start up and saw that the StartUp Bus was a great opportunity to start and personally grow.

Pierre is an exchange student from France, studying masters of management business development, and is working on launching two businesses at the moment. He is on the bus because he wants to experience the process of launching a business and build his confidence.

Angela works at Spectrum Communications, a PR agency that specialises in tech clients such as ASUS and Intel. She loves being creative and is a curious cat when it comes to knowing where technology is heading in the future.

Franck is another French exchange student studying masters of engingeering and project management. He loves to travel and is here because he’s ready for an adventures, to change people’s lives and be part of a startup.

Ricardo is an entrepreneur and is currently building his own startup, www.easydrop.com.au, which is a mobile app for delivery drivers. His goal for the weekend is to meet like-minded people, learn new tricks and to have fun!

Isabelle is a computer science student from UNSW who’s also working as a software developer at Atlassian. She’s on the bus to explore the exciting world of startups and to hopefully launch a product that will make a real difference!

Our vision is to create a completely consumer customised 3D printed personal glasses.

We’re all excited to be pitching at SydStart so see you there!
