The Power Of Our Platform

The Network Effect = the incremental benefit gained by an existing user for each new user that joins the network.

Typically, the greater the number of buyers, sellers, or users, the greater the compounding Network Effect which creates greater value to the company and its shareholders.

Therefore, the more customer-owners that join the WeSave Network and shop on the platform, the more valuable the Network is to Merchants, and vice versa.
