ABOUT THE COMPANY
Triggerise is a growing non-profit headquartered in The Netherlands, with offices in South Africa, Portugal, India,
and Kenya. Triggerise builds scalable solutions, using mobile technologies, to deliver resources to underserved
communities where traditional aid fails to address the changing needs of fragile markets. Triggerise employs a
peer-to-peer approach that connects consumers to local small businesses—giving them both the power to access
and deliver aid on their own terms. Building on these relationships, we specialize in rewards-based platforms to
motivate consumers to make positive choices—helping them to overcome individual barriers as they arise while
adding value back into their economies.
