Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
Performance-based ad tech company Prizeout helps connect brands looking to grow their customer base with companies whose customers need to withdraw funds. With Prizeout, withdrawals are offered in the form of higher-value gift cards for these partner companies. This provides a unique growth engine for brands, as well as a bonus for withdrawing customers - it seems like a win-win situation.
Prizeout’s flurry of partnerships in recent months demonstrates the broad appeal of its services. The company, for example, expanding into crypto gift cards with RoundlyX, and the Earned Wage Access space with ZayZoon. What's more, it's expanding the number of brands that offer Prizeout as a cashout service.
This will provide a substantial and necessary boost, as a restricting factor in the appeal of gift cards is how broadly they can be acquired and spent. However, the interest Prizeout is already attracting from these new and fast-developing fintech subsectors is promising. Founded in 2019, the young company's impressive funding and strategic moves over 2022 and 2023 promises further expansion.
