01.01 Décrivez votre projet en détail

Intouch takes the saying "your network is your net worth" to a whole new level, while leveraging a fair and unbiased lottery system to connect people with high-demand individuals. We enable high level and high demand individuals and corporations to stay "intouch" with what is going on on the ground and maintain accessibility to the public in a manageable and organized way.

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

Intouch mainly addresses the imbalance between the high demand for personal interactions with individuals or entities who have too much public access but limited availability such as public figures, political figures, corporations, experts, professionals, and other individuals with significant followings, and their limited capacity to meet and engage with everyone who wants their attention. This creates frustration for both the individuals who wish to meet these figures and for the figures themselves who want to engage with their audience in a fair and manageable way.

01.03 Dites-nous quels sont les principaux avantages et/ou bénéfices de l'utilisation du produit/service que vous souhaitez fournir par votre projet (au moins 3).

- By implementing a lottery system, Intouch ensures that equity and transparency in securing a meeting, reducing biases that might come from personal connections, gatekeepers or other preferential treatments. - Intouch also automates and streamlines the scheduling process, saving time and reduces administrative burden for both the high-demand individuals and those seeking to meet them. - Enhanced User Experience: For those wanting to meet a person of interest, your platform provides a clear and hopeful process.
