Company Summary

Altrüus is the social gifting platform that helps retailers connect with profitable customers through their hyperlocal social groups, using business-sponsored gifts as an advertising alternative, and user-paid gifts as a new mobile sales channel.

We focus on creating an emotional experience for users (think Venmo meets Snapchat meets Gifts).
