Feels is the on-demand, socially responsible corporate gift. Our B2B2C platform enables companies to fund a donation and let their customers, employees, and prospects choose from over 1.5 million charities as the destination so they can support a cause they truly care about. The gift of Feels fosters meaningful connections that drive brand loyalty, create social impact, and ultimately improve the customer's bottom line. Feels launched in the early Summer of 2023 as a DTC brand selling beautifully designed greeting cards that connected to our mobile app via a QR code. After a year of hard work, we hit the ground running, getting Feels into customers' hands at pop-up markets and trade shows. We quickly noticed that most of our first customers bought our cards to give to their employees and customers. Secondly, our customers were asking if they could send Feels digitally. We returned to the drawing board and found a massive opportunity in the $258 billion corporate gifting industry. This is when our all-digital B2B2C solution was born. We have recently completed a fundraising round to build out the remaining portions of our B2B2C MVP while also completing countless customer interviews to validate the flow and features of our new solution.
