A few years ago, Robin Smith and her husband called on eBay in San Jose, Calif. to tell executives about their Oklahoma City-based startup WeGoLook.com.
The company dispatches in-person lookers nationwide to verify claims made by Internet sellers of homes, cars, heavy equipment and other items, and gives customers timely, detailed platform-based reports with pictures.
“We fibbed and told eBay we were coming to the area anyway, and wanted to stop in to talk with them,” Smith said, “kind of like ‘Fake it ‘til you make it.’”
By all accounts, WeGoLook today is making it. The company, which Smith launched in 2010 with only herself and a program manager, has grown to 30 employees and some $3 million in annual sales.
