Frustrated with always taking her deodorant-marked clothes directly to the dry cleaner (often before getting to wear them out), the idea for the Gal Pal Deodorant Remover came to Shannon Larkin early one evening while getting ready for an important dinner. Shannon found herself only a few hours away in a sea of beautiful dresses at a local boutique. When she finally found the perfect dress, she realized it had deodorant marks along the sides. She needed a quick & permanent solution, so she used her resources and the Gal Pal Garment Deodorant Remover was born.

Both Shannon and her friend Courtney Rovira left their positions for a Venture Capital firm wanting to do something different, on their own, and away from the "good old boys" club they had been working in for years. After realizing the potential for such a useful product, they decided to make the first ever "Gal Pal Garment Deodorant Remover” , solving a frequent problem that can be annoying as well as costly.
