Lightning Pitch: FAVVIES – A social network for favorites

COMPANY: FAVVIES

ELEVATOR PITCH:

Social network for favorites.

PRODUCT/SERVICE DESCRIPTION:

Ever want to know what other people’s favorites are? On social media you can ‘like’ a lot of things, but what are the favorites? What are the go-to products and places of friends, family and influencers? Introducing FAVVIES—a social networking site for favorite places, products, professional services, anything! Find out what the go-to places and products are of your friends, family and influencers. Find out when traveling what locals’ favorites are. Recently, at a holiday party I was hosting, a friend brought my favorite bottle of wine. They saw the wine, Rombauer, on my FAVVIES list and decided it would be a great gift since it is listed as one of my favorites.

People are too busy to pick up the phone to find a recommendation; now they are able to go to one site and see what others’ favorites are. Many think FAVVIES is like Pinterest, which is not true—we are all about your favorites!

Favorites stand out. You can ‘like’ many things—but what are your favorites?
