CLICS Collects $1M In Crowdfunding

La Jolla-based CLICS, a startup developing an Internet connected device for hair salons for dispensing hair coloring, has raised $1M via a crowdfunding effort, the company announced this week. The company said that the fundraising came via crowdfunding website Wefunder, including funding from Brian Claypool, a civil rights trial attorney. CLICS says it has developed a product it calls the "Digital Hair Color Studio", which is a mobile app-controlled Internet connected (IoT) hair color dispenser that allows stylists to design any color and have it automatically dispensed for them from the device. The company's CEO is Charles Brown, and his co-founder is Leilani Macedo, a cosmetologist and former salon owner.
