Sharing the Shopping Cart: The YouPay Story | #062

In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Matt Holme, the CEO and Founder of YouPay. YouPay allows users to share their filled out checkouts with others to pay on their behalf - think gifting for partners, buying office equipment or authorising kids payments. Matt talks us through how he came up with the idea while trying to buy a gift for his wife and the range of use cases the technology has. He also reveals his fascinating background as a FIFA video game nerd turned EA Sports employee.Links from the episode:YouPayBimby & RoyStripeReload MediaSprint VCEA SportsEnthusiastic Gaming Sand Dune SunsetsSignet (sponsored)Shopify & Milligram (sponsored)Questions answered:What are the main use cases for YouPay?How did you go about getting your first round of venture funding?What’s your take on the future of buy now, pay later in Australia?This episode was brought to you by…  SignetShopify PlusAbout your host: Nathan Bush from 12HIGHNathan Bush is the founder and lead strategist at eCommerce consultancy, 12HIGH.
