+ In one sentence, tell us about your idea.
Gozee is a smart phone application that allows you to give the gift of travel by contributing to another persons travel fund, as well as shop a curated list of adventure trips and experiences, create bucket lists and book travel all in one place.
+ My ideal collaborative partner or partners would be...
Gozee is looking to create a wide range of global partnerships with organizations that foster travel, education, environmentally conscious practices and thought provoking experiences that can be featured and purchased on the Gozee app.
+ What is it about your idea that makes you feel good?
Gozee is committed to giving 5% of every commission earned through purchases made on the Gozee app to a positive social or environmental impact organization in each country where Gozee users travel to. This way the gift that is given through the Gozee App continues to give forward even after the gift is opened, a meaningful relationship is nurtured between the traveler and their destination and a positive change is made in every country Gozee users visit.
+ What makes your idea innovative? Why has no one ever done it before?
Never before has there been a safe, secure and immediate way to give the gift of travel. Think Venmo meets Go Fund Me (for travel).
Gozee is a first-mover opportunity with a clear vision... To change the way people give to one another in order to make the world a better place. People value experiences over things. But giving the gift of travel and experiences is difficult, complicated and often tied to a specific airline or travel entity.
Gozee makes gifting travel easy and gives people the freedom to choose when, how and where they want to travel. Each gift/contribution to a persons travel fund is kept safe, secure and available to use when the time is right.
Gozee also offers an extensive curated list of travel adventures and experiential opportunities for its users to browse through to get inspired or purchase using their Gozee funds. A Gozee concierge is always available to help book the traveler's desires and needs.
+ Who will benefit the most from your idea?
The best thing about Gozee is that everyone who participates in the user application benefits.
- The traveler benefits by receiving money into their travel fund to be used WHERE , HOW and WHEN they want.
- The gift giver benefits from knowing they have given the meaningful gift of travel and shares in the travelers experience through Gozee's social media postings and shared photo feature.
- Both giver and receiver benefit in knowing that a portion of their travel funds will be gifted forward to positively impact other regions and countries traveled to.
- The Gozee partnership entities benefit from having a large number of potential new clients and a new advertising platform.
+ Ideally, when would you launch this idea?
I've already launched my idea
+ Indicate which UN goals your idea relates to?
Climate Action; Responsible Consumption and Production; Sustainable Cities and Communities; Partnerships to achieve the Goal
+ At Sigmund, we are interested in ideas at the intersection of People, Planet, and Profit. How does your idea relate to these three categories?
By giving the gift of travel through the Gozee App we consume less and conserve the energy it takes to make, purchase and gift a physical thing. By receiving the gift of travel through the Gozee App we learn to connect with the world around us and by doing so have a greater understanding of the earth, the people in it and ultimately with ourselves. Through the gifting forward program Gozee users are given the unique opportunity to support an environmental or social impact organization within the region they have explored.
