Problem


This generation demands transparency

Millennials + Gen Z want a better understanding of the economy and the companies they engage with....

99% of public companies are increasing their reporting on policies, plans, and impacts this year across every social, economic, and environmental perspective to attract more customers, talent, and investors.

...But it's difficult for anyone outside Wall Street to understand or act on this information:

Solution

Customers


Training Millennials & Gen Z to make a difference with their dollars


Our engaged users

The younger generation demands transparency and accountability from the companies they work for, shop from, and invest in. 


Share Scoops makes it easy for them to discover companies they believe in and engage with them regularly - following, reacting, and using their points with those brands.


Our partners

Share Scoops’ consumer finance partners use our platform to engage with our audience and acquire new users that are financially literate, educated on their product, and signing up with intention. 

Partnership examples:
Share Scoops’ platform helps FLIT Invest demonstrate its impact expertise with custom educational content and offer dynamic promotions to acquire new subscribers.

Guac Savings App uses Share Scoops’ to engage and educate its audience with content collaborations and will soon earn more marketplace transactions by allowing them to exchange Share Scoops in-app points for cash on their platform.

These partners pay us commissions on these leads in addition to their fees to communicate with our audience. These B2B partnerships drive business and create endless organic growth loops.

Business model


Multiple revenue streams: Inspiring action and delivering insights

We believe the financial world should be more accessible, so we’ve aligned our revenue model with our mission.

Our platform is free for our users. We earn revenue by curating the financial resources they need to take action and making sure the world can hear their opinions.


Customer acquisition for consumer finance companies

  • Performance-based fees for new client conversions

  • Strategic services including commissioned content, insights analytics, and re-engagement partnerships


Live, on-demand panel insights service

  • Embedding user reactions into press and publishers

  • Self-service portal for companies to gather on-demand polling feedback and monitor their brand sentiment

Expanding the deliverability of our insights will increase the value we earn from every user while keeping user acquisition costs low. 

We can continue to expand our voting capabilities for companies to gather custom, on-demand polling feedback from the most economically-influential generation.


Market


Targeting a $150B+  market

in corporate communications and insights.

Share Scoops sits at the intersection of enterprise content communications ($70B) and insights spending ($81B).

More specifically, building the best acquisition channel for the consumer finance industry presents an initial $4.8B opportunity in customer acquisition as we scale our user base.

Improving the deliverability of our panel insights unlocks an additional $6B opportunity in consumer intelligence.

Competition


Standing out with powerful insights and greater transparency

Insights out loud

Our community's opinions are important.  We don't need to take their cookies to learn what they think. We just ask them.

Share Scoops' feedback system offers on-demand, live, multi-factor, event-specific insights from an informed and influential audience. That allows us to outmatch the occasional thematic polling insights from unknown focus groups of the biggest institutional brands.


Honest loyalty acquisition

Share Scoops is revamping the way the financial world markets to consumers.

We leverage the model that took Nerdwallet to a $1B IPO but avoid the dependence on Search Engine Optimization by widening the customer base ourselves through education and context, then tailoring specific recommendations to each level of our users’ personal financial journey.

Share Scoops’ select partners benefit from our expertise and insights into how this audience approaches financial topics:

  • Educational content collaborations
  • Integrating our daily scoops into their platforms 
  • Offering special incentives to spark repeat transactions

We're focusing on consumer financial companies with high customer acquisition costs to start, but we will apply that model to the thousands of other companies on our platform.

Vision and strategy


Unlocking new revenue and organic growth

We're investing in our core team and product development, targeting 100K-150K users and $1.6-1.8M annualized revenue within 18 months.*

Companies have an opportunity to build team-like loyalty through transparency because this generation invests our values in everything we do — who we shop from, work for, buy stock in, and speak about.

Share Scoops is facilitating that loyalty acquisition by becoming the main platform informing this generation’s economic decisions.


Product evolution

As we scale, we replicate our polling and customer acquisition model across the thousands of companies on our platform to create a direct engagement channel for companies.

We become corporations’ core shareholder/stakeholder engagement portal, where they can:

  • Communicate more incrementally, authentically
  • Gather real-time, poll-based actionable insights
  • Acquire new customers, talent, and investors through flexible points conversions and integrated transactions

Corporations worldwide will spend $158B/year by 2025 on increased disclosures and transparency. They need a channel to capture the brand and business benefits of their investments, other than posting pdfs to their website.

Growth strategy

Every new partnership creates more organic growth cycles and keeps our costs low.

  • Users can soon exchange their in-app activity points for cash at 200+ stores and financial services. Each new partner strengthens our value to users and positions Share Scoops as a universal loyalty points system.
  • Every new publisher embedding Share Scoops live ratings into their content boosts our visibility and drives more users looking to vote.
  • Each new corporate partner is incentivized to get their stakeholders and shareholders on the app to vote for them and respond to their polls.
  • We partner with +100 influencers, non-profits, and thought leaders, integrating their premium content into our platform to create more value for our users and spur mutual growth.


Monthly revenue projections*

Impact


We're building a more inclusive and sustainable economy

through accessible financial information and education.


Incentivizing corporate transparency and accountability

  • Share Scoops provides companies a way to quantify the short-term brand and business opportunities from investments in their workers, communities, and sustainability.
  • Companies can earn more customers, talent, and investors through transparency and strong values. Every dollar earned from our insights means greater corporate transparency and accountability.

Reducing wealth inequality

  • Share Scoops empowers our generation with the information and resources to make confident decisions with their time and hard-earned money.
  • Every dollar earned from our consumer finance partners ties to another user taking action to improve their financial health and build wealth.

Funding


Bringing on our team and accelerating our growth

We're building upon our $300K angel investments from our advisors, tech innovators, seasoned Wall Street experts, and other industry leaders.

Founders


Augustus Christensen

Augustus created Share Scoops to make the financial world more accessible. His unique background and professional expertise help Share Scoops bridge the financial information gap between consumers and corporations.

An atypical Wall Street professional, Augustus proudly comes from a small-town landscaping family that understands financial insecurity. He knows first-hand what it’s like to take on massive debt and work multiple jobs to get through school and life. Augustus sold his first social app startup to a prominent tech firm after studying economics and computer science at Georgetown University and then went on to manage billion-dollar portfolios and advise some of the biggest clients at the biggest bank on Wall Street. He was recently elected to sit on the board of JUST Capital to represent the next generation of business leaders advancing stakeholder capitalism. 

Share Scoops has tapped into a movement because its user experience is built from a unique perspective on the financial world that real people are connecting with.
