Nibi

We are all experiencing a change in the world where people's motivations to buy, live and work are different, the trends are increasingly aware of our environment, of our peers and the planet.

In spite of the big charities that work in the world, we have found out that there are thousands of charities that struggle having a sustainable organization with meaningful impact.

So we created Nibi, which means bee in Ethiopian. We connect people, companies, non-profit organizations and responsible businesses, with the aim of maximizing the impact with daily social and environmental actions and facilitating sustainable consumption.

Our technology allows people to find activities such as volunteering and impactful trips, participate in projects with donations of money or things.

We have a reward model so that our users receive nibis for their actions, that allow them to have discounts and promotions in responsible stores.

In spite of the big charities that work in south america we have found out that there are thousands of charities that struggle having a sustainable organization with meaningful impact.

So, we find out the problems:

- Visibility: For charities is very difficult to get to the digital world due to lack of resources and access to professional talent.

- Trust: in Colombia almost ⅔ of charities are presumed to be a fraud and this bad reputation affects the credibility and trust of the other charities,  what creates huge gaps.

The bad reputation and lack of formalization drives:

• Financial exclusion.

• Use mainly cash.

• Low professionalization level.

• Low digital presence.

• Most of the charities are informal.

In the other hand, there are organizations that address the formalization and professionalization of charities with advising sessions, workshops and lectures but:

• This takes a lot of time just for one charity to implement the knowledge.

• This methodology is not scalable.

• And is difficult to take this all over a country.

Nibi is a web platform that connects Charities, companies and people around social and environmental action.

We use technology, a new image and a gamification model to give visibility to charities, attract people, and make them loyal. “Impact in 3 clicks”.

Our technology allows people to find activities such as volunteering and impactful trips, participate in projects with donations of money or things.

We impact in:

- People that want to contribute in good actions: 54% of people prefer to give online with a credit or debit card. But currently less than 10% does it this way. Digital media as email, videos, websites and social media are 50% more effective to interact with donors.

For each experience our users have, they receive nibis to get discounts and rewards in commercial partners that have  social and environmental commitment.

At the moment, we have more than 1000 users, more than 100 non-profits, more than 50 SMEs and more than 10 companies that use our B2B platform.

In one year, we have more than 5K users, more than 1K non-profits, more than 250 SMEs and more than 25 companies that use our B2B platform.

In five years, we have more than 15K users, more than 10K non-profits, more than 5K SMEs and more than 500 companies that use our B2B platform.

Our dream is to impact millions of lives in Latin America. For that we reach to support more than 5K SMEs and small businesses in their projects and sales trhough our platform.

Nibi will be the biggest and most important social information bank in Latin America, giving reports and analysis in terms of social impact for governments, ONGs and Big corporations.

Our biggest challenge is visibility and marketing, because we are a new idea with a new technology adaptation, so it's important to reach to more people using digital marketing and sales techniques, in addition to partners acquisition and strategic alliances.

Also, we need 65K USD in order to improve our platform and add more functionalities for customers, non-profits and SMEs.

Marketing: Our biggest asset is our people and our partners, that have helped us to improve and boost our visibility. We are going to continue in the creation of good relations with organizations and entities that share our vision and can deploy our message.

Finance: We constantly apply to grants and fundraising in order to achieve this amount of capital.

All the things we have done until now, have been through "bootstrapping", that means with our own ressources. So we hace the capacity to achieve these goals.

We have 3 full-time staff, 5 part-time staff and more than 5 advisors and mentors.

All the people of our team have great knowledge and capacities in terms of operations, marketing, technology, social media, social entrepreneurship and business consulting.

We, also, have a common vision: Transform the world changing the habits of people and organizations in the world.

We have more than 10 partners that work with us in terms of visibility, operations and sales, such as CEMEX, Rappi, Federación Nacional de Cafeteros, University of the Andes, between others.

We are a Saas (Software As a service).

We obtain a fee for each transaction that people make in our platform.

Also, we have a tailored platform for companies and organizations in general that wnat to mesure and control their social impact, so we build a software just for their needs.

First of all, all the things we have done until now, are by bootstrapping (with our own ressources).

However, we are going to open a invest round for 65K USD with a convertible note, that will help us to improve our current platform and support the deployment of our digital marketing and sales strategy.

We have a Strategy that seeks to obtain the most partners and alliances, for increase our visibility and potential B2B customers.

We want to change lives.

Apllying to solve bring ud the possibility to connect Nibi with millions of people that want to contribute to a better world, but also, support SMEs and small businesses that wnat to obtain and attract more clients to their sustainable products or services.

We need to improve our marketing and sales strategy in order to reach more customers and give visibility to the platform.

Nibi is an internet platform, so our biggest challenge is to obtain the most active users, that give their donations though Nibi.

Nibi would partner with Google and Facebook, because with them, we can truly reach to millions of people worldwide and spread our message.
