The I Believe In You App is the first of its kind and is paired with a physical product. We created fashionable, versatile and purposeful “I believe in you” bracelets that are designed to be given away to others to let them know you believe in them. We believe that kindness is a superpower and when harnessed, can change the world. Our app is the bridge for users to create measurable impact in the world and our bracelets are the vehicle to those interactions. App users will have the ability to scan a bracelet that they’ve either purchased or received from someone else. This will give users the ability to see every single person who has had the bracelet before them and all the stories attached. Once the bracelet is on your wrist you can leave an empowering message for those who will receive it in the future. After users have given their bracelets away, the app will showcase all the people, stories and impact created as each bracelet travels across the world. Individual impact just became measurable. You’ll quickly discover that by sharing one of these bracelets, you can empower someone to pursue a dream, make their day a little bit brighter, or potentially even save their life. Here’s a recent story of someone who received a bracelet and the impact it created: “My dad said this was his favorite gift ever. I gave it to my pops for thanksgiving when I went back home and he loved it. It brought us even closer and was a super special moment for us.” Getting Started & Creating Your Impact • Purchase a bracelet from the ibelieveinyou.io store (or you may have received one from someone else) • Download the app • Scan your bracelet and document your message to the world in that moment • Add photos or videos with captions up to 2500 characters and post your story • See everyone who had the bracelet before you and the impact it made on their lives • Wear your bracelet until your inspired to give it away to a friend, family member or complete stranger to let them know you believe in them • Track the journey of your bracelet and get updates every time one of your bracelets is exchanged • See the stories and impacts you’ve created as your bracelet travels across the world Additional Features: • Featured Moments: Consume positive content daily and see empowering stories from other users on the app • IBIY Exclusive: Keep up with exclusive behind the scenes content from the IBIY movement team • Stats Dashboard: that displays the amount of cities, countries, and the total amount of impact you’ve created through your simple act of kindness. • Get Connected: Connect with other users within the lineage of each bracelet that you are a part of • User Profile: See all of your moments in chronological order and receive real-time notifications when any of your bracelets have been exchanged
