We are excited to become the SDG platform where business and citizens cooperate effectively.

What it does

AMO CITY unites businesses and their clients in a cashback app to fight coronavirus and its economic implications. We solve three key problems:

  1. Helping people make extra savings.
  2. Digitise SMEs (and help them survive the economic recession that is coming).
  3. Direct funds to relief and community funds.

How it works:

  1. Clients receive cashback for purchases via AMO CITY app.
  2. 30% of the cashback goes to local causes that respond to COVID-19 threat.
  3. Non-profits report on their impact.

How we built it

  • We have built v.1 with Laravel, Flutter and NodeJS.
  • We are relying on 1С, SAP, and Poster for integrating with offline shops.
  • We used Balsamiq for wireframes of v.2.
  • We will connect to AdmitAd and Obanky API to quickly scale and connect businesses online.
  • We are looking to connect a combination of private and public blockchains to enable transparency and audibility of cashback transactions and non-profits' reporting (ie. Settlemint; GivEth on Ethereum; Hyperledger).

Challenges we ran into

  • We had to think over cashback flow through the app to comply with legislations.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • We are proud to have a working product known in Ukraine.
  • Over the weekend, we talked to mentors and revised the part related to challenges; also, the wireframes.
  • We made partnerships and now are looking forward to implement the v.2 and scale it in the EU asap.

What we learned

  • other exciting companies we could connect with;
  • new tools to utilize in future.

What's next for AMO CITY - cashback for SDGs

  • Notably, AMO CITY is valuable both during the crisis and after it; we are building a socially driven business for the next decade;
  • We now require only between EUR 20,000-28,000 to implement the technical side of v.2 and bring it to the market;
  • We are open for grants/loans/investments.
