Direct money into community!

The final phase of the crowdfunding campaign has begun; there are just under 13 days left to raise the second half of the CHF 80,000.

A huge thank you to everyone who has already supported us! The VERD app will give wings to ’steering money’ – your support gives wings to the app’s realisation.

It is particularly heartening to see that, alongside private individuals, our supporters include various SMEs and local authorities. This reflects what VERD stands for: fair economic activity that benefits everyone.

This week, we’d like to break the 80% mark. Help us by sharing our crowdfunding campaign with family, friends and acquaintances. The more people who learn that there is a fair alternative to existing payment solutions, the faster the flow of money will be redirected. So that the money goes where it’s needed.

Warm regards, your VERD team

Academics have confirmed to us that VERD is an innovation outside the existing system, unique in the world. How do you develop such a disruptive idea? And how do you put it into practice? And above all: does your organisation provide the necessary environment for this?

Take the assessment together with Jutta Jerlich and Christian Wohlwend! The two of them have joined forces to offer a workshop in which you can reflect together on your innovation fitness level and identify measures to enhance it.

Ideal for organisations that want to lay the groundwork to overcome stagnation, shake up their market or reinvent themselves. Or organisations that want to empower their employees – for example, as part of a talent programme – to shed existing thought patterns and think in new ways.

About the facilitators:

Jutta has been working in the fields of innovation, entrepreneurship and ecosystem development for three decades. She regards the fostering of creativity, interdisciplinary collaboration and intrinsic motivation as key prerequisites for developing ideas. As an expert in creative thinking and collaborative working, she creates learning environments – including at TU Wien – where people feel confident to try out new things.

Christian has many years of national and international experience as an HR and Operations Manager. He is the initiator of VERD – a social innovation that is unique worldwide.

We already have 248 individuals and organisations supporting our project. A huge THANK YOU to each and every one of you! And thank you too for all the encouraging comments.

Overnight we got an extra boost – someone selected the dinner reward! So we’re now at 46%. Unbelievable – we’re absolutely blown away!

Thank you all for joining us on this journey! Warm regards, your VERD team

We’re halfway through the crowdfunding, with two-thirds of the journey still ahead of us. Aromawerk and Jusq’a are here to give us a caffeine boost! They’re each offering five sets of their hand-selected coffee bean blends. A big thank you to both of them!

And of course, you can already pay with VERD.cash at both of them. ;-)

Unfortunately, there are issues with embedding videos via Vimeo, which is why our video is currently no longer visible. So, as a temporary solution, here as an update via YouTube. Have a lovely sunny weekend, Katja

Inspired by Andrew’s reward, we’d like to share some of our other passions with you. Hannes and Olivia will be taking you on a sporting adventure. You can take it easy with the Liechti family at Lake Sarnen. And Katja is sending you a delicacy from the forest.

Our friendly founding member Andrew has two passions: one is VERD, and the other is squash. So, it’s only natural to combine them! Have you always wanted to train with a multiple Swiss champion (’93 - ’95) and former national coach? Now’s your chance! Andrew is offering 5 training sessions.

We’ve been able to add a new reward: a spice set from Würzmeister! –> wuerzmeister.ch A big thank you to Tania and the whole Würzmeister team for their support!

And of course, you can already pay with VERD.cash at the WÜRZ-Lädeli. ;-)

So, that everyone can calculate the potential for their neighbourhood, here the instructions in all languages.
