“Consumers increasingly value recommendations from trusted sources, yet current solutions still fall short. Vouch Vault tackles this gap head-on and early user engagement—reflected in best-in-class time per unbounced visit—suggests the platform is delivering real value.”
“Like the team at VOUCH Vault, we also believe that the current review space is flawed and ripe for disruption. AI will only make it more difficult for consumers to make informed decisions on products to purchase, media to consume and service providers to support. VOUCH Vault takes strangers, bots and bad actors out of the equation and is the solution we've all been waiting for. We are excited to back them as they are already showing strong signals from the market.”
Our Team
We BELIEVE that Personal Recommendations are Simply Better than Reviews from Strangers.
When was the last time you walked up to a complete stranger and asked them what movie to watch? Restaurant to try? Book to read? Product to buy? Contractor to hire? Band to listen to?
Well that's what ya'll been doing up until now. It doesn't make a ton of sense so let's change that...TOGETHER!
The current review space (which is comprised of aggregated opinions of complete strangers) is inherently flawed; taste is clearly subjective and don't get us started on the bad actors that are bombarding the interwebs with paid and fake reviews...not to mention the havoc that is wreaked upon business owners having to deal with it all. And lest's face it, a lot it can be pretty nasty and negative.
Let's dial back and do what makes actual sense....sharing our favorite things with our friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, teammates and others that make up our inner circle...our village.

Love him, or hate him, you can't deny that The Zuck probably knows a thing or two about this stuff. Just sayin'...
Look, we aren't saying we're going to do all this in on fell swoop, but this is a big and juicy market, or shall we say "markets" that we're going after. Check out the size of those bar graphs...that's big time! And VOUCH Vault is equal parts utility and social network...and call ourselves, A Social Utility App. Pretty slick! Together, we can grow this into a massively successful platform that will be worth a pretty penny.
Glad you asked...check this out which is a breakdown of revenue and market value per user for some of the most popular social network platforms. And if you do the math, it's A LOT. And let us be clear...we're here to grow/scale this as quickly as we can and then get acquired (sell). That's how all of us will actually make some money.
Like The Zuck said, a personal recommendation is pretty darn powerful. The marketing folk call this type of marketing, Word of Mouth (WOM). And from these stats, we'd have to agree with The Zuck. But in all seriousness, doesn't it just make sense to get recommendations from those that you know and trust?
Good luck reading all the details of the screen shots below! Haha. If you want to see it all IRL, please go ahead and download it...available for both the cool kids (iOS) and everyone else (Android). But this app is stacked with features and everything you'd come to expect...you can easily send VOUCHES inside and outside of the platform, like, comment, receive notifications...we've even got video which looks killer!
I'm sure you've heard the saying that there are no original ideas...or something like that. Probably pretty true with some 8 Billion people on the planet it would be highly unlikely that at least 2 of 'em aren't working on solving the same problem. Some are just doing it much, much, much, much better than others. (Hint: It's us, VOUCH Vault). Below are just some examples of what's currently available...which only highlights why VOUCH is different and flat out, better!
Money folk call that ROI. Although it's only a trickle, we are currently generating small amounts of revenue on the platform TODAY! Pretty much raking in the cash while we sleep...which is good for all of our investors too! Our current revenue comes from us being part of the Amazon Associates Program which is Amazonian-speak for their "affiliate program". Basically, when users VOUCH for anything available on Amazon (which today comprises of pretty much everything in the known world), our platform magically (smart engineering peeps) generates an affiliate link for that VOUCH. When a user sees a VOUCH (let's say it's for a pair of those weird toe shoes by Vibram), and then purchases them via our link, we take in anywhere from 1% to 10% (depending on the category) in a affiliate commission. Not too shabby. And at scale, this really adds up. So much that it if we only had this revenue stream, we could pretty much sit back and relax. But that's not our style and we have SEVERAL additional revenue streams coming down the pike.
We've got a lot of work ahead of us and are excited to get going! We're looking to do some testing in niche markets, onboard a few experts who know a thing or two about building community, collaborate with big time creators/influencers and continue to make updates/improvements to the platform...including a lightweight, browser-based version. And we've got to squeeze in AI, somewhere, right?!? Got that in the works too...we'll leverage AI to make creating VOUCHES even easier while also connecting you with your Doppelgänger who may be living somewhere in Norway or other far-off land.
