We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in ChatGenie's journey: our acceptance into the prestigious Techstars Future of eCommerce Accelerator Program Powered by eBay. This marks an exciting step forward for ChatGenie and a testament to our commitment to helping businesses through our In-App Stores.

A Partnership that Paves the Way

Techstars is renowned for its global network of startup accelerators. It's a unique opportunity for startups like us to collaborate with industry leaders, mentors, and fellow entrepreneurs. This partnership with eBay, a global e-commerce giant, holds immense promise.

The Power of In-App Stores

At ChatGenie, we've always believed that businesses should sell where their customers are. A clear strategy for maximizing return on ad spend on platforms such as Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram is to focus on selling within, rather than outside of, these platforms, such as through marketplaces or web stores. In a world increasingly defined by messaging apps, social media, and mobile wallet platforms, this means bringing the shopping experience directly to where users spend their time. This concept is at the heart of In-App Stores, and it's what sets ChatGenie apart from other eCommerce enablement platforms.

‍

What Is an In-App Store?

An In-App Store is a game-changer for businesses of all sizes. It allows them to seamlessly integrate e-commerce into popular messaging and social media apps like Messenger, Instagram, Viber, and even mobile wallet platforms like GCash. Imagine chatting with a business and, in the same conversation, exploring products, making purchases, and tracking orders. It's a frictionless, customer-centric shopping experience.
