RefundMe has organically reached its minimum investment amount! We are still looking for investors with experience in travel retail, payments, and commerce (among other things) to join! Demos are available for interested investors. We are also signing Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, the biggest shopping mall developer in Europe and a pledge for a commercial partnership at the Amstelveen Stadshart. We will sign Westfield Mall of the Netherlands later this year. Visit our round here.

Wammes is a web app where high street inspiration meets online ease. Most of us don’t have the time to endlessly browse brick-and-mortar stores, and online shopping only works if you already know what you’re looking for. Wammes lets you browse for gift ideas based on stock photos that match the personality of the person you’re shopping for, all based on your intuition. You can pick three photos out of our randomly generated selection, and our algorithm will show you an overview of the perfect gifts. Our own market research has shown that our method works: 90% of respondents said they would likely or definitely use our app. Visit our round here.
