Sagoon's Social Smart Card will allow users to earn money while shopping, redeem coupons, and gift their loved ones. The company considers the Social Smart Card and the iOS app to be game-changers, particularly within the $300 billion social e-commerce market. This past year, the company also successfully launched its Sagoon mobile app for Android in New Delhi. Sagoon now boasts 2.6 million users across its mobile and web-based offering. The company continues to build market share, onboarding those within the 2.8 billion social network users who are looking for a better social experience than is provided by current platforms. Sagoon solves a glaring problem in today's U.S. social media landscape - U.S. social networks are not set up for e-commerce. Direct commerce between users and sellers and among users is prohibited, and users earn no financial rewards for being a direct source of revenue. There is also a missed opportunity to make gift cards, coupon offers, and discounts purely social. Mini-IPO offerings provide an opportunity for the non-accredited general public to invest and own stock in the company. The company is still accepting investments from public and institutional investors and can be accessed through its website http://www.sagoon.com/invest, where the offering circular is posted.
