Black-founded software company / Partnox LLC
Partnox was founded by Lilie and Lovensky. We make useful, well-made apps for people big tech doesn't build for. Our first app, Shea, is for Black women with natural hair. Everyone is welcome to use what we make.
Why Partnox exists
Most apps weren't made with us in mind. So we make our own.
Big tech overlooks our community. Partnox builds the software it needs, with the care it deserves, and keeps improving it alongside the people who use it.
We started with Black women with type 3 and 4 natural hair: an B+ hair care market, part of a Black beauty market heading toward 3B, with almost no serious technology built for it. Everyone is welcome. We just begin with the people who have been left out the longest.
Our first app
A daily companion for coily, curly and textured hair.
Routines that fit real life, guided wash days, ingredient checks, progress you can see, and a community that gets it. Built with love for hair that's too often an afterthought.
The founders
Co-founder / Shea community & content
Lilie leads Shea's community and content, the voice our members hear every day. Her focus is building a space where Black women actually feel understood when it comes to their hair, and creating the content, conversations and culture that keep that community alive.
LinkedIn
Co-founder / Tech, engineering & growth marketing
Lovensky builds consumer products for niches big tech doesn't find interesting. He goes after markets others overlook because they're not trendy or glamorous. They're usually the most loyal and least served. Right now, that's Shea.
LinkedInNo briefs and no outside projects. We only build our own apps.
We design, build and run everything ourselves, remote-first.
Our apps get better every week, shaped by the people who use them.
