What's the solution?
bellwether allows you to connect with your closest friends and influencers to give and receive valuable recommendations. It encourages both virtual and real-time connection.
A second layer connects users to venues (coffee shops, restaurants, concert halls, etc.). A point system allows users to give and receive points. These points accumulate and if an influencer (a.k.a. bellwether) gets enough people to attend a particular venue, he or she would eventually earn real incentives from that venue.
