StrongBark is a private social shopping network, released in beta, that enables users to share discount coupons with friends via a single app. The company says it expects to soon host more than 20 million products and 75,000+ daily offers from over 2,500 regional and national retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, and Nordstrom. The community currently has about 500 users. StrongBark's revenue model is a cut of each sale and affiliate marketing; the company pledges no ads, no email spam, and no sale of user data. The startup has been financed by about $700,000 from friends and family. It includes gamification features — Bark Score, Influence Ratio, and Loyalty Bones — and a marketplace where Loyalty Bones can be traded for digital rewards.
