It makes use of new technology and social network tools to "disrupt the traditional retail model".

Foundation and launch

Teeology was co-founded by American recording artist and actress Jennifer Lopez and fashion designer Erica Zohar. They teamed up with Brian Lee and MJ Eng to design the company's "innovative" shopping portal, which uses new technology and social networking tools to "disrupt the traditional retail model". Of Teeology, Lopez stated that it is a "different type of online experience", where "you get to be involved in which designs get made. And it gives us a beeline to what people really like". Lee had previously helped launch the legal document site LegalZoom with lawyer Robert Shapiro and the subscription-based women's shoe site ShoeDazzle with reality television star Kim Kardashian. Lopez, who models for the company, also acts as its chief curator. The website was officially launched on Thursday, July 12, 2012.

Eng explained the creation of the company by stating: "The idea started when we realised more and more customers have become increasingly spoiled with private sale discounts online. We know the markups. So rather than building a brand around cost structures, price points and overhanging inventory that you have to liquidate, why not have a lean model and offer good prices right off the bat?"
