Janice Williams Oliver | Founder of MisTee Wants to Know, Inc.
Providing curly and coily hair with the intelligent planning system it deserves
Banking remembers your preferences. Fitness tracks your progress. Healthcare follows your history. So why does hairstyle planning still rely on memory, scattered photos, and starting over with every new stylist?
That's the gap the founder of MisTee is closing.
The MisTee AI Hairstyle Planner is the first platform built to manage an entire year of curly, coily, and protective styles, connecting clients and stylists through one intelligent system that ties together hair health, life events, and pre-appointment coordination.
She is a P&G Beauty/WWD Media winner, the first African-American woman to win the Silicon Valley Pitch Force competition, and holds an approved USPTO patent with a second pending and an approved European Patent Office application, a rarity her UK attorneys noted as independent evidence of the level of innovation in the product.
She has raised $285K in SAFEs and grants, with both investors returning for a second investment. She holds an LOI with Mayvenn, giving her access to over 50,000 hairstylists.
Her team includes successfully exited entrepreneurs, PhDs, and MIT graduates.
She is building something the beauty industry has never seen. And she is just getting started
