Caringo

Inspiration

We were inspired to create Caringo after realizing that there was a need for a platform that connects people with causes they care about in a more personalized and impactful way. We wanted to make it easier for individuals to find and support causes that align with their values and interests, and to provide a space for nonprofits to share their stories and connect with potential donors.

What it does

Caringo is a platform that allows users to discover and support causes they care about through personalized recommendations and social sharing. Users can create profiles, follow causes, and donate to organizations directly through the platform. Nonprofits can also create profiles, share their stories, and connect with potential donors.

How we built it

We came up with the mockup design using an assortment of collaboration creativity tools, such as Adobe Photoshop, Figma, and Adobe Illustrator.

Challenges we ran into

We realized early-on that creating an iOS app from scratch, with what experience we had, was not feasible, but we were determined to see our idea come to life.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We learned a lot about how an End-User is impacted by design choices, and how these design choices can be used to impact society.

What we learned

Throughout the development of Caringo, we learned a lot about building scalable and secure applications. We also learned a lot about working collaboratively as a team and leveraging each other's strengths.
