Vint turns one-time guests into repeat customers for local business — with universal rewards customers actually use, and privacy built in.
SMBs pour ad spend into big-tech platforms to reach customers who visit once and never return.
The average consumer holds 17+ loyalty programs. Most points die forgotten in a drawer.
Nearly every "free" loyalty app survives by harvesting and selling customer data — a growing legal liability.
Small businesses serve guests.
Corporations build customers.
Big chains spend billions turning strangers into regulars. The corner café can't. Loyalty only compounds when rewards are universal — a neighbourhood currency, not another punch card. That's Vint.
One app that ties a whole neighbourhood together — and keeps customer data private by design.
Location-based discovery of nearby independent businesses and their live offers.
Earn Vint Coins anywhere, spend at any participating merchant — or cash out to a real gift card.
Merchants broadcast to subscribers and fulfil orders without ever seeing customer PII.
A verified, secure check-in (QR + geo, or receipt) earns Vint Coins on a real purchase visit.
Spend coins at any participating merchant in the network, or cash out to a gift card at threshold.
Merchants reach subscribers and accept pickup/booking orders — identified only by an anonymous code.
One wallet for the whole neighbourhood. Discover, earn on every visit, redeem anywhere or cash out, refer friends — no spam, no data sold.
Reward regulars on check-in, broadcast a Promo, or list paid Offers (pickup & booking). Reach customers directly without buying ads — and without 30% delivery cuts.
Incumbents (Fivestars, Kangaroo, Square Loyalty) are single-merchant, charge per-transaction fees, and monetize data. None offer a privacy-first, cross-merchant neighbourhood currency.
| Stream | What it is | Nature |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 — $99/mo | Loyalty + Promo (info-only offers) | Recurring |
| Tier 2 — $199/mo | Adds the Offers / booking marketplace | Recurring |
| Offer service fee | 2.5% on paid pickup/booking orders | Per transaction |
| Breakage | Unredeemed coins reduce payout liability | Margin |
Predictable monthly pricing — no per-customer charges, no ad auctions. The flat 2.5% applies only to completed paid orders. For most merchants, a few recovered repeat visits cover the subscription.
We don't wait for a big market to work. Every merchant runs a self-contained loyalty loop with their own customers from day one — and brings those customers onto Vint, so our acquisition cost stays near zero.
The merchant rewards a verified visit with coins.
Coins pull the customer back — repeat visits, higher lifetime value.
Referral codes turn regulars into a free acquisition channel.
New customers join the merchant's loop — and the neighbourhood's.

A working product is the next milestone — not the next research question. The spend now is about getting it in front of merchants and customers.
MVP (in development): loyalty, discovery, Promo & Offers, payments, cash-out. Launch the first neighbourhoods.
Blockchain-backed settlement, merchant analytics, deeper gamification.
Partner APIs (POS, city apps), multi-city expansion, fraud tooling.
The product is being built. This round is primarily to market Vint and drive awareness — getting merchants and customers onto the network, neighbourhood by neighbourhood.
A rewards currency that keeps money — and loyalty — local.
Every neighbourhood, its own economy. Stop serving guests. Start making customers.
