Valued offers digital intermediation as a service, like power or water, operated for the benefit of consumers and businesses and not the platform itself.
As a service provider, Valued does not seek to control or profiteer from others’ digital activities and does not “clip the ticket”.
The platform is a subscription service paid for by businesses and provided free to consumers, who can use it to commercialise what they already do today.
Valued is a scale platform designed to operate across industry and businesses types.
When Valued digital tokens become available, Valued’s customers will have access to an easy and convenient way to recognise and share value. Businesses can use tokens to reward customers and spend them promoting their businesses. Individuals can spend earned and rewarded tokens or can help solve social issues by donating them to Valued Charities.
Customer profiles enable individuals to automatically digitise their personal network by connecting and sharing experiences, recommendations, and content with others. When an individual shares something that creates a new connection for a business, the platform recognises the new connection as an Introduction and when the new customer engages with the business, a Referral.
Introductions and Referrals digitise word of mouth, by the platform enabling both consumers and businesses to identify the value created by sharing experiences, recommendations, and content with others.
Vouchers, and later tokens, commercialise word of mouth by providing a simple mechanism for businesses to reward and incentivise customers.
Customers are more likely to recommend and share something from a business that rewards them for their time and effort.
Free access exchange is when a digital intermediary platform offers nominally free access to services and content (e.g. search, social media, maps, mail, etc.) in exchange for free access to us and our personal data.
Many popular digital platforms use free-access-exchange to commercialise by harvesting personal data and selling access to serve digital advertising at their users while they consume the platform’s services and content. Nominally free services and content come at the cost of intrusive ads, data privacy, anti-competitive behaviour, social harm, and the loss of billions of dollars from local economies to multi-nationals, who pay minimal tax.
Valued offers an alternative of digital intermediation as a service, paid for by businesses and provided free to consumers. As a subscription-based service, Valued does not need to control or exploit value from personal data or make money from digital advertising.
The platform is founded on a revolutionary shared value business model, enabled by a leading digital capability, that consumers and businesses use to directly connect, engage and share in the value that they create together. The platform enables both consumers and businesses to capture and benefit from their own data, by digitising everyday interactions and commercialising personal networks.
Share value, not exploit value from others.
Local responsibility is about localising the economic benefit for local consumers, local businesses, and local economies, while social purpose is about leveraging our collective scale to solve social issues.
