Jonathan Ramaci / Encore
Founder
Encore
Jonathan Ramaci created Encore, a dress-rental app that gives a great dress another night out. High school students rent and lend prom, homecoming and formal dresses to each other, so families spend less, closets earn money, and fewer dresses are worn once and forgotten.
Signature feature
Same-Dress Alert
Prevents two students at the same school from booking the same dress for the same event.
Families first
Parent approval
Every rental goes to a parent for one-tap approval, and payouts go to parent-owned accounts.
Local
Safe Swap
Students can hand off dresses at safe, public meetup points instead of shipping.
Launching in Mount Pleasant
Encore launches first in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and runs on any phone as a web app — no app store required.
