CoFounders Podcast - Rasers and Scrubs

Kim Ribbans and Kraig Cole

Company or Product Name:

RASER

Brief Description of Your Product or Service:

RASER is a Marketing Automation Platform that turns customers into sales people and referrals into cash.

Our patent pending mobile app platform lets businesses recruit existing customers to become marketers, and ensures that their marketing costs are ZERO, until they acquire a new customer.

Users just open the APP to see which of the businesses that you use have offered a cash incentive.

Then they send that offer to their friends. When the friends become customers of that business BOTH get paid in cash!

Users can transfer the cash they make to their bank account, or, in the next phase, use it to buy products and services from participating RASER businesses.

Show Topics:

Our two founders, Kim Ribbans - a 25 year veteran marketer, and Kraig Cole - recent GSU student met as Lyft drivers. This Baby Boomer/Millennial duo identified a need in small to large business marketing for managing referrals and monetizing social 'Likes'. When 18 year old Wunderkind Developer Darran Hall came along they were in business.

Our story is one of bootstrapping the product to MVP+ and creating a new kind of social marketing tool!

Aja Anderson, City Lead

Wework

Tenacious. Ambitious. Passionate. I get things done. There's never an excuse for missing the mark in my professional universe. If someone says "we can't", I get us to "we can." I never identify a problem without offering 10 solutions, and I love finding the answer that takes us to the next level.

An eclectic portfolio in startups, non-profits, government, and education has molded me into a bonafide jill of all trades. I facilitate success for my clients and my company through excellent customer service, obsessive attention to detail, leading by example, and sparkling wit.

I want to change the way we work. I spend my day identifying how best to enhance our brand new collaborative workspace in SF's Central Market district; how to invigorate the local business community; and supporting the dreams of over 300 inspiring entrepreneurs.

As the world’s freest economy, Hong Kong is a leading international business and financial center, as well as a regional transportation and logistics hub. It is the gateway to China and remains a choice location for international companies to oversee and manage their regional operations.

Our office works with American businesses that are keen to invest in Hong Kong or gain a foothold in the burgeoning Mainland Chinese market through the territory.
