{"id":84970,"title":"BeerMe - A fun, global alternative to Venmo built on USDC","tagline":"BeerMe is a community payments platform that makes sending money fun and personal. ","body":"Hey YC! We’re [Gray](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gray-newfield-447b9b111/) and [Noah](https://www.linkedin.com/in/noah-newfield-208a40129/), co-founders of [BeerMe](https://beerme.world/).\n\n**The Problem:** Sending money should be as engaging as other forms of digital content.\\\nAs we spend more time online, our options for self-expression (text, audio, photos, video, gifs, emojis, reactions, and stickers) have flourished. But payments feel about the same as they did 10 years ago.\n\n**The Solution:** BeerMe makes sending money fun and expressive.\n\nSend an old friend a couple beers ($16) on his birthday. Text your daughter a coffee ($5) to brighten up her finals week. Slack your team little treats ($4 each) at the end of a long sprint. With a curated library of tokens, any moment becomes an occasion.\\\n\\\n**Demo:**\n\n\u003chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulsKCkjobHE\u003e\n\nLike all social media content, tokens can be sent via private, anonymous links on any platform where people stay connected. Transfers are instant, global, and free. Track and manage tokens, swap for other options, or cash out USDC to any crypto wallet or exchange.\n\nWith BeerMe, there’s a token for every moment.\n\n**Our Ask:**\n\n1. **Sign up** with your phone number at [BeerMe.World](http://BeerMe.World) before 10/30 and **we’ll send you a free Founder Mode token** ($1).\n2. **SOGO (Send one, get one)** Send someone a token, tell us about your experience by DMing [@BeerMeWorld](https://x.com/BeerMeWorld) on X or emailing [noah@beerme.world](mailto:noah@beerme.world), and we’ll send you a beer ($8).\n3. Want to send a token that’s not available yet? Reach out to [noah@beerme.world](mailto:noah@beerme.world) and **we’ll custom-make you a token** and add it to the platform.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=84970\u0026key=user_uploads/2246500/bbd835cc-7424-47e8-9b9f-5af96f227157)\n\nIf you’ve already signed up for BeerMe, contact us directly for your Founder Mode token.\n\nAny feedback is appreciated.
