Yaystack- The Best Finds From Your Best Friends.

November 12, 2015

Friends don't let friends miss a good deal. Enter the delightful, simple idea of Yaystack. You're super busy. You love saving money, but with everything else, who has time to search through deals? Finding good deals is like finding a needle in a haystack. That's why a team of super likable and smart entrepreneurs led by Trey Roth created the app Yaystack. Yaystack makes it easy to follow the people and businesses you love and find what you want by cutting through the noise and bringing you the best deals.

What is Yaystack?

Yaystack is a collection of deals that are redeemable when shared. It's a great way to discover what food, clothes, technology, etc. that your friends are into while saving money at the same time! Consumers get great deals on goods and services and share these finds with their friends, which means reviews and recommendations from trusted sources. Businesses get risk-free, word-of-mouth referrals and access to a broad network of shoppers. It’s a giant win-win for everyone and a place that people can truly trust and enjoy.

What is the problem you are trying to solve?

People all over the world are sharing products and services with their friends landing millions in sales for companies everyday and not seeing anything in return. Also, the best way to grow a business is through trusted word-of-mouth referrals from happy clients and customers, yet there hasn't been an easy way for companies to encourage and compensate this valuable activity. Yaystack solves these problems by allowing companies to "thank" their clients and customers for sharing with well-deserved exclusive deals.

What traction do you have?

We have raised $550k to date and are in the product to product/market-fit stage. As early as it is, we have already teamed up with companies like Ted's Montana Grill, GAP, Subway, gusto!, fab'rik, Moe's, Which Wich, and more!After a series of successful pilot tests, we are officially launching in Atlanta this Sunday with something we call a YAYDAY!  That means free lunch at gusto! Wood Fire Grill (1935 Peachtree Rd NE) for the first 120 people who show up and download the iOS app Yaystack from 11:30 am-3 pm this Sunday, November 15th. Come on out and bring your friends for a good time, free food, and live music!We are encouraging companies of all sizes and industries to incentivize their network as a newly activated salesforce by making their first offer on Yaystack, and this YAYDAY is just a fun way to kick it off!

What is the best thing about being Yaystack?

We at Yaystack aspire to show people the value they deserve for their trusted word-of-mouth referrals and have great plans in the works for how we accomplish this. We are excited about our opportunities to get better at our craft in order to help you and your company grow. The way we see it is that we are most effective for companies with very happy customers, therefore elevating the passionate, people-oriented businesses that deserve it most! We exist to simply "elevate quality business."So don't forget Atlanta!
