He got the idea for Adore Me in 2010 while in his second year of Harvard Business School’s M.B.A program. He was shopping for a gift for his girlfriend, and couldn’t find an option that he felt was high quality and also within his budget. An affordable alternative became the inspiration behind Adore Me. Hermand-Waiche spent three years working at management consulting firm McKinsey & Company prior to Adore Me.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.alumni.hbs.edu/stories/Pages/story-bulletin.aspx?num=3228 )〕 Initial investors in Adore Me include Hermand Waiche’s Harvard professors,〔 and angel investors Fabrice Grinda and Jose Marin.〔 The company officially launched its website in March 2012.
