The idea

I built Rize alongside two friends. It was an iOS app that connected viral trends with supporting small businesses, bringing people and participating businesses into a two-sided marketplace.

Testing before launch

We ran two rounds of user testing before launching. Building the app was only one part of getting it off the ground: we also had to bring businesses into the marketplace alongside the people downloading it.

What happened

Rize received over 100 App Store downloads, and we onboarded multiple businesses.

Rize was on the App Store for a while. I don’t think it’s still available.
