Introducing A Better Way to Stay Organized and Connected: New Wallet™ Launches on Kickstarter on April 21st


Wasting time looking for their wallet, keys and phone is the bane of every busy woman's existence. People spend an average of 15 minutes each day searching for cell phones and keys according to a survey conducted in the UK. To solve this problem, New Wallet Inc. today announced it will launch its new product-an organized wallet and protective iPhone (News - Alert) case with a Bluetooth low energy key fob that provides integrated tracking technology-on Kickstarter April 21, 2015. No more losing keys, phones or wallets!

"We designed New Wallet with women in mind, understanding how busy we all are with work, family, fitness...with life. We wanted a better way to stay organized and stop wasting time looking for the things we carry around the most," said Karen Crawford, CEO of New Wallet. "New Wallet combines your iPhone and wallet into one simple device that keeps you organized, protected and connected. We've included a Bluetooth fob that keeps your New Wallet and keys connected digitally so you won't lose them without an alarm sounding. This acts as a digital leash enabling you to press a button on the key fob or a button in the New Wallet app as a quick way to locate them."

New Wallet is an alum of Velocity Venture Capital's Entrepreneurs Showcase accelerator program. Velocity's team supports the Entrepreneurs Showcase program that ignites, accelerates and capitalizes entrepreneurs through mentorship and networking with industry leading CEOs and world-class corporate investors. "When Karen and her team presented New Wallet to us, we knew they had a great product concept and were solving a real-world issue," said Monique Brown, Operations Partner at Velocity and Executive Director of the Entrepreneurs Showcase. "We're excitedto see this innovative product get to market leveraging the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform."
