Our take
In a world where traditional gift-giving has become increasingly complex, Gesture emerges as a beacon of innovation. Recognizing the challenges people face in sending gifts, the company harnesses technology akin to money transfer apps like Venmo to empower effortless gift-sending, and ensure swift delivery within hours.
Leveraging AI technology, Gesture's SmartSend feature streamlines gift delivery. One interesting function is that it enables secure gifting without the need for extensive recipient information, tackling a longstanding barrier and frustration associated with traditional gift delivery services.
Gesture aims to solidify its position as a premier gifting platform, catering to both consumer-to-consumer and corporate B2B gifting needs. All-in-all, the company seeks to become the go-to platform for every gifting occasion.
