Pitch for Social Transactions (STRX)

Company / App Name: Social Transactions (STRX)

http://socialtransactions.com

What does it do?

STRX connects charities to a new source of revenue–consumption. Any time a user shops online, a commission goes to a vetted nonprofit doing good work. It is seamless: no special portal, no privacy concerns, no extra clicks.

Why do we need it?

Online shopping is a multibillion dollar activity. Now some of the margins on that activity can go to alleviating poverty, helping children grow and learn, protecting the environment…

Who is it for?

Charities can earn revenue from everyday commerce–until now that has been a high friction transaction. Consumers can help deserving non-profits without spending a dime, risking their privacy, or changing their behavior.

What makes it stand out from the crowd?

Social Transactions is seamless. Once downloaded, in two clicks, the consumer does not have to think about it again. No extra clicks, no special portals. Just go shopping, and do good while you are at it.

What’s next?

Consumers will be able to divide their contributions among multiple charities. Public television and radio will have a new fundraising source–people who watch and listen, but will not write a check, can raise more money just by shopping
