Founded by two high school best friends, Obi Omile Jr. and Kush Patel, theCut is a barbershop technology platform that allows users and barbers to manage appointments through the app. A graduate of the TechStars program, theCut has successfully booked over 15 million appointments. They work with over 65,000 barbers and help almost 2 million users find a fresh haircut nationwide. Prior to running theCut, both founders worked in engineering—Omile at Wells Fargo and Accenture, and Patel at Microsoft and Yahoo.
