More than 30,000 retailers nationwide are seeing a 52% ROI on average—results that have been independently audited by Fortune 500 and third party analytics companies. On the consumer side of the marketplace, more than 30 million people power $2 billion in purchases through the Upside platform every year. They use our top-rated mobile app to see 2 to 3 times more value on their purchases than with any other product. By helping people and businesses do better, communities grow stronger. Upside is venture-backed by some of the best names in venture, including Bessemer Venture Partners, Data Collective, and Formation 8.
