Three Reasons Why NFX Invested in On Me: The Product Turning Gift Cards into Networks

https://nfx.com/post/onme
  • On Me raises $6M seed to modernize the $447B gift card industry.
    • NFX led; Lerer Hippeau and Focal co-invested.
  • Gift cards reframed as network nodes, not one-off spending instruments.
    • Redemption spans dozens of vendors, not one merchant.
    • Video notes + photos embedded in cards create warm communication loops.
  • Mobile proximity payments hit $670B in 2024; projected $1T+ by 2027.
  • Team: Darragh Meaney (CEO, Google/YouTube/Credit Suisse), Sitar Harel (CTO, Google Maps/Photos).
  • Three-layer network effect: personal gifting loops + vendor discovery + wallet routing.
