Congratulations
to
Morgan
Linton are in order on a couple
of fronts today. First (by a mile) is his
impending marriage Saturday (August 18)
to his lovely fiancée and business partner Daina
Burnes! While
that is the personal high of a lifetime,
the second thing is extremely cool too,
especially when you consider that Morgan said it
represents he and Daina "finally living
their dream" in a business sense as
well. As
most of you know, Morgan is a serial
entrepreneur who is all about domain
development, as is Daina. One of their current
projects (dreamed up by Daina), FashionMetric,
aims to revolutionize the way men buy
their clothes - or more precisely where
they buy their clothes. Currently only

Morgan
Linton & Daina Burnes
will be married Saturday (August

Morgan
and Daina aren't the only ones who think they
are on to something big. Daina entered
FahsionMetric in the Lean Startup Machine
competition in Santa Monica, California a
few weeks ago and won. From there they
went on join hundreds of other collaborative
developers at AngelHack
and came away with both a spot in the finals and
a new web app that caught the attention
of the prestigious Microsoft BizSpark Blog
that published an interview
with the FashionMetric founders today.

They
told the author, "This has been a
dream of ours for a long time now. After
winning Lean Startup Machine and making
it to the AngelHack finals we realized
we had a unique opportunity to
turn our dreams into a reality.
Morgan and developer James Baca
are quitting their day jobs and
Daina is leaving her PhD program
at UCLA to make this happen.

are
excited
to get married in August and want
nothing more than to work together
full time. Team synergy is the key,
we all are ready to take a risk to
change our lives and do something that
we love." They
added, "We set out to bridge the
gap between the physical and online
worlds, enabling men to buy shirts
online that not only fit their body
type but also match their personal
style...our hack is the foundation of
something much bigger that we
think is going to change the way
people buy clothes online." That
would be one BIG fish to reel in
and if the FashionMetric team is
successful, the rewards will be astronomical.
Knowing the drive Morgan and Daina have,
I think they have an outstanding chance
to make it happen. Check out the
