Harmonee wins Arch Grant and plans to change the world.
Harmonee was created out of the belief that we are stronger when brought together. Businesses can prosper and have a positive impact on their community.
Harmonee’s simple app provides a totally new way for businesses to connect with consumers and conduct market research. Each question posed by a company and answered by an individual sends $1 to a local nonprofit. Businesses get powerful insights from customers at a fraction of the cost of traditional market research. Individuals get a new way to support nonprofits they care about and strengthen their local community. Nonprofits get passive, stable donations and build deep networks of support.
With a launch in November, Harmonee is currently focused on building strong partnerships with nonprofits in St. Louis - working with them to bring their existing networks of businesses and individuals onto the platform. Focusing on nonprofits places them at the center of the business-customer relationship, right where they belong.
“Home Sweet Home started to fulfill a need in St. Louis by providing quality furniture for families in underserved areas. We are able to pick up donated furniture, store it, and deliver it to over 600 families a year. The success of Home Sweet Home is dependent on the generosity of the community. We are excited to partner with Harmonee and offer people a way to fund us that doesn't ask anything more of their wallets or schedules. By answering a few simple questions a week, supporters provide us with passive income and in turn, serve the community we love.”
- Betsy Reznicek, Executive Director of Home Sweet Home
With an Arch Grant, Harmonee is poised to have a strong roll out within the St. Louis region and perfect the product for launch in other cities. This is not only an opportunity with financial support, but also a way to build critical awareness and interest in Harmonee.
“St. Louis continuously ranks in the the top five of the most charitable cities in the nation. This community already feels compelled to support one another. Harmonee allows the region to expand that care by using spare moments to add up to lasting change.”
Tara Nesbitt, CEO
Harmonee is all about bringing people together around a common purpose to strengthen local communities. Arch Grants has become an incredible support system for entrepreneurs and dreamers in St. Louis. We are honored to join the Arch Grants family as we launch Harmonee here in the Lou. It is a way for us to actively engage our mission from the beginning - coming together for the good of our community.
