Hutch App Lets You Redesign Your Apartment Using Snapchat-Like Filters

Two years in the making, Hunch is finally launched on Feb 1, an app that helps design apartment in just a capture. This innovative success helps you decide your interior design without involving lifting.

During the launching, it was said that downloading the app that helps with interior design is free. Hover on the space you want to apply changes, take a photo of it, and send to Hutch. Within 24 hours, a designer will work on the photo, adding applicable design with furniture which the user can buy piece by piece. According to Fortune, the app may be free, but the means for the creator to make money is with the furniture that they will suggest.

Hutch CEO Beatrice Fischel-Bock encountered several issues from establishing her company up to developing the app. However, after making an impression with Barbara Corcoran and Tinder CEO Sean Rad when they first appeared on "Shark Tank", they were offered an investment that helped them go through developing the App.

In an interview with Forbes, Fischel-Bock said, "I didn't know I was going to be an entrepreneur until my partners and I came up with our first business idea in college, and that is the Hutch App. We knew we were onto something but assumed someone else had already done it." She added, "As we dug deeper we realized no one had. This was a big learning moment in what entrepreneurship is. It's realizing that there is still so much innovating to do and who's to say you're not the person who should be doing the innovating?"

As of the moment, Fischel-Bock focuses her team on adding improvements to the app's efficiency, allowing designers to manage five to ten works at once. According to Techcrunch, the company has a force of over 30 people and half of which are interior designers. Since the start of the development of the app up to its launching, their revenues increased to 700 percent.
