Giftomatic is changing the landscape of Gift cards
OUR story
It was november 2018 and...
It started with a bright idea
In November 2018, Sander & Erik had a Friday afternoon drink in a bar. Quickly they got to the subject “Gift cards“.
Both just had a terrible experience with expired gift cards. Sander and Erik quickly realized that Gift Cards could be so much more exciting by bringing technology & data to the gift card market. With their experience of building digital products, soon a feasible plan came to the table. One that would generate valuable data and smart monetization strategies, while helping the gift card owner too. A “win-win-win” situation.
Two months later they decided to build a first MVP of the “Giftomatic inspiration service” and Giftomatic was born. In the mean time Coen joined the team. Coen already worked together with Sander at Symbaloo for 10 years, he felt this could be something big.
