At GOTYOU, we envision a future where local commerce thrives through a Collective Digital Economy—an ecosystem of secure, transparent, and direct relationships between businesses and consumers. Our platform empowers communities by providing local businesses with the tools to engage meaningfully without big tech intermediaries draining value. By fostering trust, ownership, and connection at every level, we are building a self-sustaining, digital economy that strengthens local economies and ensures value stays where it belongs: in the hands of our communities.
Our mission at GOTYOU is to empower local businesses and consumers to engage in a Collective Digital Economy where secure, direct, and valuable connections can flourish. By giving businesses and users full control over their data and enabling instant, real-time rewards, our platform ensures that local commerce remains personal, privacy-protected, and mutually beneficial. We are dedicated to simplifying local commerce, building trust, and creating a frictionless, transparent marketplace that strengthens our communities and keeps value within them.
Our founder’s journey started 25 years ago, driven by a passion to help small businesses harness the digital frontier. Now on his 4th startup, with 2 successful exits, we’re tackling the biggest challenge facing local businesses: creating meaningful connections with consumers. The problem with brick-and-mortar businesses is that they lack the digital connections that e-commerce giants have mastered, leaving them to rely on costly advertising. With customer acquisition costs up 222% over the past decade (Deloitte, 2024), businesses can no longer afford to compete without meaningful, data-driven insights.
GOTYOU changes the game by offering a simple platform that helps local businesses build those connections, gather insights, and create more demand—without breaking the bank on ads. We empower local businesses with the same tools that e-commerce companies use to personalize offers, driving real-time rewards, perks, and incentives directly to consumers at the point of transaction.
