From.Us: Crowdsourced Giving Eliminates Bad Gifts
WHAT: Crowdsourced gift giving. Create and share lists -- and costs -- of potential gifts for your friends, who then have the final say and can choose something they really want. From.us [ @fromdotus ] allows users to connect through Facebook and help each other find gifts the receipient actually wants.
LAUNCHERS: Eric Scott , Daniel Hirunrusme.
INSPIRATION: Giving gifts is hard work, and a recipient is not guaranteed to get something they want. People give gift cards, which don't always get used and don't show much thought.
BUSINESS MODEL: Not Disclosed.
INVESTORS: Dave McClure, Christine Tsai, Paul Singh
RAISING: 250K
