I find it truly fascinating to use exponential technologies to build a virtuous and social network where everyone benefits, and where even micro-transactions are\u00a0feasible\u00a0and manageable at scale. This way,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0possible to help those\u00a0at\u00a0the margin\u00a0of society\u00a0even\u00a0with the little they need (for example, a small purchase of groceries), ensuring transparency and security for donors, participants, helpers, and\u00a0controllers. Here is the case of\u00a0WeSherpa. We interviewed Maria Rosaria Sanna<\/strong>, co-founder of the Lugano-based startup, who reconciles technology and community in everyday life. They have just started, but the potential is evident.\u00a0Here\u2019s\u00a0our conversation.<\/p>\n

Tell us a bit about yourself and your background.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

My professional journey began in marketing, but in recent years\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0had the opportunity to delve into ESG topics, which led me in 2022 to pursue\u00a0some\u00a0training in Sustainability and Impact at the\u00a0Polimi\u00a0Graduate School of Management. My connection with Ticino is\u00a0relatively recent\u00a0but very meaningful: it was here that, thanks to Pierfranco Sofia, with whom I shared the master\u2019s program and who involved me in the\u00a0WeSherpa\u00a0project, I was introduced to a context strongly oriented towards local social innovation. His entrepreneurial drive, combined with the deep knowledge of the territory and institutional dimension brought by Paolo Bortolin, were crucial ingredients in building our team.<\/p>\n

WeSherpa\u00a0is a project that brings together\u00a0different backgrounds\u00a0\u2014\u00a0economic, social, and technological\u00a0\u2014\u00a0around a shared vision: to\u00a0demonstrate\u00a0that redistributing purchasing power is more profitable than concentrating wealth.\u00a0In essence, if\u00a0we have an effective tool for financial inclusion, like our network, we can guarantee\u00a0impacts\u00a0that traditional donation models do not achieve.<\/p>\n

So, what is\u00a0WeSherpa? What does it do and what stage is the project at? Tell us more.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

WeSherpa\u00a0is a fintech startup with a social vocation, born with the goal of transforming donations into simple, everyday gestures close to the community. We were inspired by the concept of \u201csuspended economy\u201d: consumers can deposit credit at essential goods stores so that someone in need can\u00a0purchase\u00a0those items at a reduced price, with dignity and according to their needs. Everything happens digitally,\u00a0tracked\u00a0and transparent through our app. Donations are redeemed at 100% and can only be used by beneficiaries certified by local social organizations, generating a concrete impact instantly.<\/p>\n

The model is economically supported by partner stores who pay a percentage fee on the donations they receive, which for them is effectively an\u00a0additional\u00a0revenue. With that fee, we\u00a0maintain\u00a0the platform. In this way, generosity directly produces\u00a0real socioeconomic\u00a0value and translates\u00a0immediately\u00a0into tangible benefits for both recipients and stores, contributing to the well-being of the community, while the donor also gains the advantage of reducing their taxable income.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s\u00a0a network because\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0possible to donate remotely, for example, for companies. A local business can adopt\u00a0WeSherpa\u00a0as a solution to support its community by donating. Donations\u00a0are\u00a0channelled to partner stores. The business receives an instant certificate, which will eventually become an NFT, useful for non-financial reporting and gains visibility on the app among citizen donors. In short,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0a transparent gesture to say, \u201cI am here and truly supporting my community, I want to guarantee fair access to essential goods in local stores.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, we are in a very dynamic phase: we have launched our market test in Ticino, with 11 active stores and aim to reach 20 in the coming weeks, expanding territorial coverage and offered services. The\u00a0initial\u00a0signals are decidedly encouraging; our data show that for a purchase of 10 CHF, a consumer adds at least 5 CHF. This is also interesting for stores:\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0talking about a 50% increase in sales. This confirms that\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0on the right track.<\/p>\n

Do you use exponential technologies like AI or Blockchain? How will they change our world?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

WeSherpa\u00a0was born as a \u201cblockchain for good\u201d project as part of Pierfranco\u2019s thesis for his Master in Sustainability and Impact. As you know, measuring social impacts is still a complex topic (it\u2019s\u00a0much more complex to measure long-term social impacts than environmental ones), and it has interesting market potential in the impact finance sector.<\/p>\n

Today, the project has become a true \u201cprofit with purpose\u201d model. We are engineering the use of blockchain and will begin its prototyping in the coming months, in parallel with the web 2 evolution of the service (app + payment network). For us, technology is not an end, but an enabling tool\u2014it\u2019s\u00a0used to make social impact measurable, which is a fundamental prerequisite for building trust and creating a truly transparent model.<\/p>\n

The idea of measuring impact in web 3.0 is still at the heart of our blockchain use, and donation certificates\u2014especially for businesses\u2014will be issued as Social Credit: an NFT product that allows companies to demonstrate instant and local social impact, which can be included in their sustainability report with a click. Our goal is to launch this technical infrastructure development by 2026, which will be\u00a0feasible\u00a0once\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0raised capital and proven the business idea\u2019s validity in the market.<\/p>\n

The role of exponential technologies in marketing is transformative. As a marketing professional, I grew up thinking about increasingly sophisticated and precise targets, but I also spent many hours counting how many out-of-target consumers I had reached, because the needs and factors driving purchasing are extremely fluid and mutable. Algorithms will be faster than us at skipping certain patterns to focus directly on conversion goals and optimizing investments to maximize the result,\u00a0identifying\u00a0people most likely to respond to certain stimuli, regardless of sociodemographic characteristics. The good news is that we, as humans, will always be called to listen and have a deep understanding of people, generating value propositions that truly make sense for someone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
