Co-founded by CMO Daniel Murray and CEO Joel Freeman, Grabble is an online fashion platform that allows users to save products, wherever they’ve found them online, to make a fashion wishlist. The company has built a technology infrastructure based on “scraping” which enables retailers to add products straight off their site, onto Grabble, and turn them into mobile content with no integration involved.
