It so happened that most of the projects launched for the Russian-speaking audience, one way or another, are covered in Habré. We also decided to tell you about the project.
So, the Makes Sense charity auction . After carefully reading the name, you can already understand the main directions of the project, but let's explain. ')
We provide an opportunity to buy a meeting with the person you like, winning it in the auction, it can be just a girl / boyfriend, or lunch with a businessman (read: a potential investor of your startup;)), and the money collected during the auction is sent to charity. You can also sell a meeting with yourself by filling out a few fields of the questionnaire.
It's simple: you get a meeting, children help. (Now we are cooperating and transferring money to the charity foundation “Nastenka” )
Having launched the same project in Belarus six months ago, we were able to raise quite a lot of money, and a third of the money in the last six weeks. For six months, we have established cooperation with all major charitable foundations. Recently, the number of comments under some Lots has increased to 1000+, and the average number of meetings sold per week is close to 500. In addition to meetings with girls and boys, as mentioned above, we have the opportunity to sell business meetings. Significant meetings held include the sold meeting at David Falkner, a professor at Oxford University. Who do you think bought the appointment? Of course, a representative of a startup community.
Give and buy meetings, and at the same time help the children, because this is “Makes Sense” (It makes sense)
Upd: If you have any thoughts on cooperation or development ideas - write in the comments, or at support@masense.ru - we will listen to you carefully
