Wishew launches in style, celebrating the closing of one of the
largest pre-seed funding rounds in startup history: $10 million.
Blending personal crowdfunding with the interactive storytelling of
modern social networks, Wishew targets a broad demographic (ages
18-55) with a novel approach to achieving personal desires, ranging
from life goals to bucket-list adventures. This socially-driven app
fosters connections among like-minded individuals and cultivates a
sense of community. Wishew is ushering in a new era in social
networking, dedicated to fulfilling dreams, supporting aspirations,
and making incredible new friendships. By creating the first
community for personal fulfillment and establishing the leading
network for lifestyle enthusiasts, Wishew makes reciprocity among
dreamers the coolest thing ever.
Imagine a place where users from around the world share their
personal wishes, challenges, and dreams through videos. A place
where likes don't exist, but sympathy and appreciation are shown
with real dollars. This is the revolution led by Wishew, and given
the over 50,000 pre-registrations in less than two weeks, it seems
this was exactly what the world was waiting for.
On World Wish Day, April 29, the first social network designed
to fulfill wishes is now officially available for download in the
U.S. on both Android and Apple app stores. With the App’s release,
users can immediately post their wishes and start working towards
making them come true with the contribution of other dreamers.
Within Wishew’s discover section, users will discover thousands
of videos waiting for them, sharing personal stories, challenges,
and dreams. It’s an immersive, vibrant, and uniquely human
experience that engages the user from the first moment.
Participation is intuitive and rewarding: through voluntary
donations, users contribute to the fulfillment of others' wishes,
earning rewards and special privileges in return. At the same time,
users can share their own wishes through personal videos, inviting
other dreamers to support them.
"We envisioned Wishew as the greatest wish-granting machine in
the world. A platform that reinvents social networking, pushing it
towards an era of unprecedented innovation and inclusivity. We are
proud to have this extraordinary responsibility." - Wishew
founders
In short, Wishew marks the beginning of a new paradigm in social
media, bringing a breath of fresh air with a clear goal: to
transform wishes into the world’s most innovative, cool, and
supportive language of connection.
“In these times, with the direction the world is going, we
strongly believe that we can bring more value to people’s lives
with this platform. A tool like Wishew will allow people to become
closer and lend a hand to each other, encouraging camaraderie and
positive support. With joy, personal fulfillment and hope for
themselves, others, and the future. Perhaps it is a bit bold to
say, but for us, this product represents a social revolution. Yes
it is ambitious, but we are excited to find out.” - Wishew
founders
Currently, the global market for desires is worth approximately
100 trillion dollars. This value is based on the money people spend
on goods and services and the time and effort they devote to
fulfilling their desires. Currently the majority of the population
is surviving, not thriving. This means going into debt to survive
and be happy, leading to the constant pressure to make ends meet,
and the mental health epidemic. Currently, 90% of Americans believe
we are in a mental health crisis. Anxiety and psychological
depression are just some of the consequences, layered into the
overall scheme of current social, economic and world pressures.
Wishew wants to provide people with a new tool to improve their
lives. It is designed to make desires attainable, creating
excitement through the experience, and taking off personal
pressures. People will be able to save more, and be less in debt,
by asking for what makes them happier. It is also incentivized to
the participants.
By supporting the wishes of others the users will also earn
privileges and points for participating in the Wish Game. Everyday,
the most active contributors will have a chance to win amazing
prizes such as dream trips, the best in technology, i.e. a new
iphone, and more.
“The idea is to make personal crowdfunding and contribution the
most social and cool thing ever.” – Wishew Founders
Platforms such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo are solely focused
on business proposals and projects. GoFundMe and JustGiving are
focused on charitable causes and urgent, serious situations
typically that need attention, often as a result of a crisis or
death. Wishew is tapping into consumer items, travel, hobbies, as
well as dreams, goals, while still encouraging work and projects
and charity initiatives to be present on the platform.
“It would be like Christmas all year round. Everyone has at
least one wish, big or small. A platform like this would allow all
of us to help each other make our wishes come true.” - Surveyed
user, Mariya Cayton
As far as the business model is concerned, the MPV will see the
first two revenue streams active. The first is a 12% transaction
fee. 12% includes the fee associated with the service provided by
the platform, including the costs associated with the financial
transactions. There will also be incremental boost options for
users, such as 3 days or 7 days to draw attention to a wish
campaign.
After the United States, the platform will launch in the United
Kingdom, Canada, Europe, Mena and Latin America. The goal and
initial projection is to reach 10 million users +.
The social wish-granting app aims to disrupt the market and
revolutionize the social communities offered in the space by
offering a new type of platform: allowing users to help each other
and themselves to achieve the previously unattainable. The founders
offer a fresh approach to the crowdfunding space by applying their
tapped in social knowledge.
Wishew is the latest technological venture by entrepreneurs;
Giacomo Vose (Founder & CEO), Antonino Risicato (Co-Founder
& CMO), and Vincenzo De Caro (Co-Founder & CGO). Wishew
also has closed one of the highest pre-seed funding rounds in the
world with the main investor being the public figure Leonardo Maria
Del Vecchio through his fund, LMDV Capital.
The App is now available on the App Store and Google Play for
iphone and android.
