What is Umbrellas App

Umbrellas is a social media medium that allows users to share their problems and give advice in an entertaining and anonymous way, on a open forum, like Yik Yak, but with the option to decide the radius of your feed. You can share your problem (drop) and find solutions (umbrellas) locally, regionally or even further. Some problems require local solutions.

The app has multiple categories (clouds) in which each type of problem is categorized. Some of the “clouds” are Family, Relationship, Financial, College, etc. There are 12 clouds. The feed is divided in two, new and popular. Popular refers to the problems with the highest severity ranking. The community determines the severity of the problem through votes. The available options to vote for are calm, bad, very bad and dreadful.

Each time a user gives advice they receive deed points. Everyone is free to give advice and free to share their problems. Every time you give advice, or your advice receives a like you receive deed points. The deed points express how good you are at giving advice, and your knowledge in certain areas. Everyone can share their knowledge and in return receive deed points. Umbrellas is a great way to network and use the experience you’ve gained in your field. The more deed points you have, the more valuable your advice is, consequently the more people you attract to your page.

The app's ultimate goal is to empower students and professionals to share their knowledge and experiences whilst helping others. By gaining deed points they gain recognition in the community, thus becoming marketable. Further updates will allow users to create a profile with the goal of creating or expanding their brand. This will pose a financial benefit to the user of the app by attracting more clients, gaining more recognition and ultimately expanding their market share.

The community will become aware of the kinds of adversities their friends, neighbors, and even complete strangers face. On the same token, they will be able to see how professionals and good samaritans provide solutions and advice to the community.

Umbrellas starts with “U”.

We are raising capital to finance the next step of Umbrellas App which will include new features that will make the whole experience more appealing. We’ve heard what the people have to say, they want the Umbrellas experience to be more complete, and that’s what we are working towards, but we need your help.

The money will be distributed as follows:

$2000 for Patent Fees

$5000 for Marketing purposes

$3000 PR tools

$3000 Umbrellas 2.0

$2000 for College Campaigns

There is a strong focus on Marketing because we believe that for the app to work at it’s highest potential, we need to have as many users as possible. Imagine turning on the app and having thousands of users in your community connected through the platform. Your problems would be answered in seconds. That is the optimal version of Umbrellas. For that, we need your help (sharing and downloading the app) and contribution. With the capital raised we can work towards the app that all of you deserve. We can help people find solutions to small problems, reduce stress in the global population, impact local communities and help you become a better version of yourself.

The app is ready and it will launch in the next couple of weeks, but because we are students we lack the financial capability for rapid expansion. So you are going to be able to use the app very soon, but we want you to be able to use the app with millions of other users.

Let’s change the way social media works and let’s turn it into something local with the capability of causing a positive social impact. Are you ready to join us in our journey?
