About Lootist
We believe that making a satisfying purchase or giving a thoughtful gift is a matter of getting the right shopping advice from the right person.
That's why on Lootist, people looking for great products can connect with real-world enthusiasts, hobbyists, and other specialists to get informed recommendations. This guidance comes in handy when you know who you’re shopping for, but not necessarily what you’re shopping for. For instance, if you’re looking for a gift for a friend who enjoys cooking, wouldn’t it be helpful to get shopping suggestions from a professional chef?
So who are our enthusiasts? All the product recommendations on Lootist are submitted by our community, which is made up of real people, like you. We display every enthusiast's background, and the endorsements he or she has received from others in the community.
Lootist doesn't sell any products directly. Instead, our enthusiasts recommend products from any store on the Web.
Lootist is the brainchild of CEO and founder Mike Sonders, a veteran of technology management and a geek TV and home theater enthusiast.
