Summary

Mark Walerysiak Jr., Founder & CEO of Giverrang, is the driving force behind a shop local marketplace that rewards members with cash back for spending at local businesses. Giverrang's no-code platform on Bubble has enabled him to build a functional app without extensive coding knowledge, allowing him to focus on his entrepreneurial vision. With a mission to boost small businesses and increase local spending, Giverrang offers a unique approach to e-commerce, promoting local "cash back" deals and supporting merchants with affordable commissions. Since its re-launch in August 2020, the app has seen significant growth, including a 120% user increase and its first sale. Mark's goal is to scale the business, build out a shop local ecosystem, and raise a seed round to further support small merchants. Giverrang aims to make every day "small business day" by providing a platform for discovery, sales, and community building.
