About Honestly
Human experience belongs in every product decision.
We’re building a database of product opinions so the people making, marketing, and researching products can learn from the people using them.
Our story
From trading cards to understanding products.
Paolo Shamoon and Kalvin Kazemi have been friends since preschool. Their first company together, TradeUp, was a marketplace for Pokémon cards and collectibles. Paolo brought buyers and sellers together; Kalvin built the marketplace and the escrow system behind each trade.
That work put them close to the details people care about when they buy. With Honestly, they’re applying the same attention to what people say after they’ve used a product.
Someone can love a perfume’s scent and hate its spray nozzle in the same review. Honestly keeps both opinions connected to the product and feature they describe, so the teams making and marketing products can learn from that experience.
