The Winklevoss Twins may be a little more fashion savvy than we originally assumed.
Although their new venture is still technology based, it may be very popular amongst fashion and retail businesses.
Cameron and Tyler launched Winklevoss Capital Fund following their $20 million Facebook settlement and are currently building an office space in New York, where they’ve recently led a $1 million financing round for e-commerce startup Hukkster.

For those who are unfamiliar with Hukkster, the concept is simple, you shop at favorite stores around the internet and pick out different full priced items that you would like to purchase once they go on sale. That process is called “Hukking.” Once the item goes on sale, Hukkster alerts you to make the purchase at the lower price-point.

Founded by former J.Crew buyers Katie Finnegan and Erica Bell, the project sounds like something about to be a hit. J.Crew, Steven Alan and Nordstrom are just a few of the many retailers who have already signed on to be “Hukked.” Only time will tell if this will be as lucrative for the Winklevoss Twins as Facebook, but we hope for the best!
