Wishew

85 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 7LT

Overview

Wishew is a wish-granting social network that blends personal crowdfunding with interactive storytelling, letting users post video wishes and receive voluntary donations and rewards. The app debuted in the U.S. on April 29 (World Wish Day) and is available on both Apple and Google Play stores. Early traction includes over 50,000 pre-registrations in less than two weeks and a stated initial projection to reach 10 million users+. The platform targets users aged 18–55 and features a discover feed, a Wish Game with prizes for top contributors, and reciprocity-driven social mechanics (no likes; appreciation via monetary contributions). The MVP business model includes two revenue streams: a 12% transaction fee and paid boost options (e.g., 3- or 7-day promotion). Wishew plans subsequent launches in the U.K., Canada, Europe, MENA, and Latin America.
