Entrepreneurs for Global Change

My startup, Nutsss, is a mobile app that uses gamification to make financial management engaging. The name is inspired by how squirrels store nuts, similar to how people should save money. My goal was to learn how to position my product in the market and deliver more value to users. EGC provided invaluable insights and strategies that have greatly contributed to our growth. Nutsss has grown to over 5,000 users, with more than 500 daily active users at its peak. Our next challenge is adopting Open Banking and pioneering PSD2 regulations in Serbia.

"Pametan Zalogaj" is an app that connects schools, children, parents, and local restaurants to provide daily healthy meals tailored to children's needs. It promotes healthy eating habits and offers parents an easy way to monitor and pay for their children’s meals. 
My goal was to learn and build a strong network in America. I successfully made many connections thanks to the welcoming environment. The EGC and BOLD program continues to provide me with support and encouragement, which I hope to pass on to future generations. 
We are in the development phase of our app, aiming to launch by the end of the year, with our first users—happy children with healthy meals—by February.
