So if you don't know I created a startup called SavySwap, which as it names says is based around swapping. I couldn't be more happier with my decision to take a leap of faith by leaving the world renowned, Howard University and go at this full time. The things I have experienced since starting this adventure have been amazing and invaluable. From connecting with some great people to getting wonderful feedback from friends, family, and even strangers, it's been a blessing.
So Where Are We Now
Since the summer, SavySwap has come from being just an idea to becoming a reality. This journey has not always been easy but if Frodo could travel to Middle Earth to return the ring, why can't I! Over the past few weeks SavySwap has been moving at full speed. First and foremost, we have officially become incorporated! Second, we have completely redesigned a new landing page which will roll out later this week, here's a sneak-peek at the new page.
Third, we are in the process of creating a beta mobile app for the iPhone. You can see some of the screenshots below:
What's Next?
So what's next? Well we will need your help bringing a complete app to you, the people! We are running a crowdfunding campaign in the next few weeks and your help would be greatly appreciated. You can expect some pretty dope perks and rewards for your contributions.
Now, we understand that not everyone will be able to contribute money and that is okay, but that doesn't mean you can't help us out and receive rewards too. Starting on December 1st you can head on over to the newly redesigned SavySwap page, and sign up for our email listing and enter for a chance to win a brand new iPhone 5, for FREE!
The rules are simple. Using the exclusive link you will receive upon signing up, get as many friends as possible to signup using your link. The person who brings in the most unique email users will win.
Stay Savy
Yes, I know savvy is normally spelled with two v's but we aren't looking to be normal. I would like to thank everyone who has given their support and warm wishes so far. This include my grandparents whose help, wisdom, and teachings throughout my childhood have helped make all this possible. To my parents who probably lost endless hours of sleep during my whirlwind college career until now, I thank you! And to all my friends and family who have shown support during this journey, I thank you too. Without you all SavySwap could not have gotten this far.
Make sure to check out SavySwap on Facebook and Twitter and remember the adventure is just beginning. Stay Savy my friends!
