For example, furniture retailer Crate & Barrel used ThreeKit's to make 50,000 images of their sofas and tables in one weekend allowing them to put 100% of their catalogue on their website faster than regular photography could accomplish.
Abel, who previously cofounded BigMachines and pricing software SteelBrick , also backed the company's seed round.
