Inspiration
22% of the US Population receive SNAP (food stamp) benefits each year. They have tremendous purchasing power in aggregate, yet remain under-served by consumer technology. Currently, Food Stamps do not work online, on mobile, or anywhere in the digital economy.
What it does
Allows people on Food Stamps to shop online, on mobile, and on apps like Instacart, DoorDash, & Postmates. Right now Food Stamps don't work anywhere digitally.
