On Me

Still buzzing from last week’s news! 🥳 It was an honor to be featured in TechCrunch following our $6M seed announcement. Building a consumer app is never a straight line, but having our mission validated by top-tier investors, and covered by the team at TechCrunch, signals that we are on to something big. We are laser-focused on making sending a gift as easy as sending a text, without the waste of traditional plastic cards. A huge thank you to our team, our investors, and everyone who has supported On Me so far. We are just getting started! Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/eU-bjTha

🚀 Exciting milestone for On Me!  We’re thrilled to announce our $6M seed round, led by Pete Flint at NFX with participation from Lerer Hippeau and focal, who have supported us since our pre-seed last year.  At On Me we are reimagining the $447+ billion gift card market— building a platform that helps people give, spend, and share value in more meaningful ways. In the past year, we’ve facilitated over $2.5 million in gifts for more than 76,000 customers, showing strong demand for a more personal, flexible way to gift digitally. This funding allows us to accelerate product development, expand partnerships, and continue scaling our impact across consumers, retailers, and corporate partners.  Deep gratitude to our investors and team for believing in our mission to make every digital gift feel personal. We’re excited for what’s ahead! 👉 Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/gQ4BTsPd #fundingannouncement #fintech #startupgrowth #digitalpayments #venturecapital Sitar Harel Darragh Meaney

Let’s face it. Finding the perfect holiday gift for an entire company is usually a logistical nightmare. You want to be thoughtful, but you also want to be efficient. Here is the "Win-Win" scenario we’ve built for modern teams: The Company Win: You choose the category (like Self Care, Dinner, or Fashion) that fits your culture. It shows you care about who they are, not just what they do. Plus? Zero fees and instant bulk sending. No shipping logistics required. The Employee Win: They choose the retailer. Whether they want to shop online or in-person, the card lives in their digital wallet. They get the freedom to buy exactly what they’ve been eyeing all year. Ditch the swag no one uses and send a gift that actually boosts morale 😉 👉 Check out how we make holiday gifting easy: https://lnkd.in/eiNr8Wx3

It’s a special time at On Me HQ! We’re excited to welcome Neil Shankar to the team as our Founding Designer! Neil was most recently at Block -- the parent company of Square, Cash App, and Afterpay. Before that, he worked at Google, at the same time as our co-founders Darragh and Sitar! We’re excited to leverage Neil’s background across design, engineering, fintech, and consumer products to create magical gifting experiences 🎁 Neil hit the ground running in April and he’s already launched a huge design overhaul of our product -- he’ll be unveiling our new logo and branding very soon! We’ve loved getting to know him and we’re looking forward to building the best gifting experience ever, with him at the design helm. We asked him a few questions so you can get to know him too: 1️⃣ Why did you decide to join On Me? I’m super interested in consumer fintech, and I personally use lots of consumer fintech products and apps. A lot of these apps feel “banky” and transactional, but On Me stood out to me in a big way for shifting the focus towards gifting and social connection, which is a very human thing. 2️⃣ What’s your most memorable gifting moment? I love when gifting involves a bit of espionage. Last year, my girlfriend surprised me on my birthday with tickets to Disneyland. She had secretly coordinated with my parents to hunt down photos from our family trip to Disneyland 20 years prior, and it made for a really memorable unwrapping experience. 3️⃣ When not building the future of digital gifting, what hobbies keep you busy? Last year, the Olympics inspired me to try my hand at new sports and hobbies! Since then, I’ve tried archery, aikido, and curling! 4️⃣ What On Me Giftcard do you want to receive for your next birthday? Out of all of our gift cards, Self-care On Me is one of my favorites. I also wouldn’t mind an Extreme sports On Me, as that would encourage me to try something new! #OnMe #gifting #giftcard #giftcards #design #berkeley #fintech #tech #onme.com
