GLOAdaverse, a leading Web3 venture builder, has announced a $500,000 pre-seed investment in Mithu, an innovative loyalty platform aggregator for restaurants and cafes in Saudi Arabia.
Mithu aims to solve a critical problem in the loyalty program market, where customers struggle to manage multiple loyalty programs and billions of dollars worth of points expire annually.
Key figures:
In Saudi Arabia, only 2.5% of restaurants currently offer loyalty programs, leaving a vast untapped market.
Globally, about $100 billion worth of loyalty points expire annually.
Customers hold an average of 17 loyalty programs, with 68% churning within the first year.
By aggregating loyalty programs into a single, gamified app, Mithu seeks to increase customer engagement and help businesses, particularly SMEs in the food and beverage industry, retain customers more effectively. Founded earlier this year, Mithu has already signed agreements with approximately 200 restaurants in Riyadh.
“We’re thrilled to have Adaverse on board,” said Mohsin Qureshi, Founder of Mithu. “Their expertise in Web3 and gamification is invaluable as we develop a tokenized version of our app. This investment accelerates our time to market, allowing us to better serve our clients and users.”
