- Alexis Ohanian tours PartPic, a tech startup that allows you to take a photo of a broken machine part and find its replacement.
PartPic, founded in Atlanta, GA, offers visual search for replacement parts and is radically altering the industrial distribution market. So whenever the machine that builds your house-cleaning robot breaks, PartPic users can take a photo of the broken part and find out what it is and where to get it. For Small Empires, Alexis joins PartPic during their seed round of funding, as they seek venture capital investors to help them grow. He also meets one of their first potential customers, National Builder Supply.

Small Empires is back! Here's season two, episode one:
I are fine
Tremendously inspiring
Great video, didn't know this series existed - UNTIL NOW!
Watching more...
Literally one of the smartest ideas! Thank god people are actually making new apps not just making popular game knock offs haha
This is the type of programming that keeps my television shut off. Thanks Alex and The Verge for showcasing such inspirational people. They most definitely inspire me and I'm sure others to follow our dreams.
So happy to see this show back. Hope this season lasts longer than the previous one. Good work folks.
shes beautiful and smart, atlanta is a new technical hub itself, no need to move company to silicone valley. with tech you can be anywhere in the world and still run your company ,stay true to your roots partpic!
Lol, reading up on PartPic, now... hearing that they got $1.5 million in seed funding, this makes me happy...
I'm anxiously waiting to see how PartPic takes off. Such a brilliant idea!
+Alain Saint Surin Do you know if its avaialbe for use now?
+Alain Saint Surin Been trying to find the app, but can not..
Black people in tech? Awesome
Yeah, because race is much more important than ideas ...
+Louis Chassagne ra ra racer x
This is so inspiring, I wish you success in your mission.
Yes!!!!!! My favorite series from The Verge is back! Thank you!!!! Would like Top Shelf to come back as well if possible.
Finally! small empires is one of the best series on verge! :D
Great episode! The journey, struggles, insights, I like how in-depth the story goes
great to see small empires back .. n loved the return of the credits track as well. classy ..
This is awesome, but the problem I see is that Google could do the same much quicker. They have the database, they have the computer vision. Nothing stoping them from combining the two and providing to a much larger industry, not just the parts industry.
Anyway, they will do well, they deserve it. I can see how hard they all work and those are the types of people that should get funded. Not just another photo sharing app.
Good luck guys, which you all the best.
This was awesome! Love the drive of young entrepreneurs.
This is so very inspiring for anyone who has an idea and wants to move on it. Hope, faith, belief, knowing and trust in your vision are just a few of the ingredients in 'the sauce' that creates success in any endeavor. I really needed this today, considering I've been working on tackling fears! Kudos to you, Jewel Burks / Partpic for your amazing accomplishments.

This is an awesome episode. Glad Small Empires is back. Thanks for continuing it The Verge
So glad this amazing series is back!!!
Great story! Inspiring.
Great start to the new series.
season 2 is more appealing, great work guys!
Yes, partpic concept and technology is really cool!
Great show and fantastic episode!
The reason I subscribed to the Verge is back!
she's great! they seem to have a capable team. of course we don't know enough about the business to know if it's a smart investment, but from out here, they have a great idea, exhibit core competency, and have focus of passion. what's not to like? i wish them all the best.
thanks small empires for the education and inspiration.
Gave me so much inspiration for starting up a new business!!!!
Woah love it~! The ending music is still the same and it is good to listen~!
They're back ! Awesome video as always !
Awesome episode. Thanks.
great episode...
Welcome back Alexis!
I LOVE this show!
Pls keep doing this kind of video. I LOVE IT
This is the company that should have won TC Disrupt.
Lovely Atlanta
It's an extremely useful idea - i would download an app like this
Very inspiring.
The Human Race often holds itself back from greatness/success/progression.
So many great ideas and talent brushed aside by crappy bureaucracy.
Good Job, Part Pic.
Yes, yes and yes!
what a genius idea!
I see what you did there (editor)... Very Clever.
Awesome episode!! #SmallEmpires
awesome, i still dont get how image recognition works, very cool
It's baaaaack :D
Get this money!
Google/Amazon could just buy them to improve Goggles/Firefly.
C3 Amazon bought them
Is this available for use now? Ive tried searching for it through the app store but did not see it. Advice anyone ?
yo the founder is hot af and congrats to her and her team - they got acquired in 2016
this is why i don't watch t.v anymore... all the good stuff' the stuff with culture, creative content, useful information, and awesomesauce, all of that is on the internet. (most of it is on The Verge )
ATLANTA YASSSS
He reminds me so much of Logan, from Tek Syndicate...
Logan??? xx
Can anyone tell me, what is the name of the song? The Verge
Does anyone know in there is an app available ?
Great to see blacks in the tech space
How big is the market for a company like this?
2 years later they sold to amazon.. crazy
...If you already have the part... why would you take a picture of it and buy it... if you already have it?
Mr. Wonderful might be interested. #sharktank
They realllly need to change their ui
Language in the Title?
I'm sorry, but how much money does she have?
She kind of looks like an adult Sasha Obama.
mmm mmm mmm
Awesome. I'll spread the word on ***** and @facebook
Magjul Thanks!
You're welcome. Keep up the good work!
th8s is sooo coool
Really appreciate what Ive seen and will watch avidly from here on!!x
knothing brought me here
Amrit Pal Gill same
part pick is almost irrelevant for most repair men. The Equipment manufacturer has exploded parts view which allow you to find the specific part your looking for so easily. It's an interesting idea, but it wont survive.
This may be true but they may gain a huge audience for older generations or female consumers who know nothing about all those little parts that may break and they need to find what it is and where to buy it.
Well then mars, if its not simple as a light bulb, they wouldnt be the one fixing the appliance
Some people are very independent and like to do small jobs on there own
i love the idea, but this seems to be a really racist company
why because all the founders are black, its Atlanta and she hired people she was worked with from Google, your comment makes no sense smh
sol Uhm... So, it isn't racist when it's a team of all-White founders? Really dude?!?
Nthato Moagi no, thats a cracy idea!
its allways racist when only the same race sticks together in a company
sol Well, excuse me but I didn't notice your comments on any other episodes which showcase companies with all-White founders. And I feel like there's no need to. People can, may and should work with whoever they want to. This is especially important when it comes to starting a new company. As the founders mention in the video, the team was based on previous work experiences. Stop trying to start trouble. Stop detouring people's attention from the main objective here. These people are just trying to start their own empire. Please respect that, and stop judging them because of the colour of their skin. If anything, you're the racist here - not them.
so you are calling me a racist because i pointed out some racism. did i understand that right?
