About the offering

The Birth of Dopple: A Mother Needs Help When Lisa Marino was a young mother on welfare, she and her husband faced a frustrating reality—while many programs existed to help families, accessing them was complicated, fragmented, and difficult to navigate. They spent hours filling out paperwork, applying for aid, and relying on inconsistent support from family and friends. Lisa’s story isn’t unique. Raising a child is more expensive than ever, and financial stress is crushing families. Sources: (1, 2, 3) At the same time, friends and family want to help—but the way we give hasn’t evolved. Parents receive mountains of clothes and toys for birthdays and baby showers, yet struggle to afford essentials. Lisa imagined a better way—what if, instead of another stuffed animal, parents could receive real financial support for everyday expenses? Twenty years later, with technology advances and market dynamics aligned, Lisa saw an opportunity to build a platform that could aggregate critical resources and funding to help families thrive. Dopple: Turning Gifting into Financial Security for Families Dopple transforms gifting into a seamless funding platform, allowing families to access real financial support for everyday needs. Instead of receiving one-time gifts, parents can create a personalized wishlist that includes both products and essential services—from diapers and clothing to daycare and medical expenses. Loved ones can contribute by purchasing items outright or funding them in small amounts, making high-cost necessities more manageable. With patent-pending technology, Dopple ensures that gifted funds are seamlessly directed toward what families truly need. By combining multi-source funding, direct payment integration, and automated transactions, Dopple is redefining gifting as a financial tool—turning generosity into lasting support. How It Works Dopple seamlessly integrates with online retailers, financial accounts, and multiple funding sources, ensuring contributions are easily collected and directed toward what families truly need. Our Traction Dopple isn’t starting from scratch—it’s built on a profitable, fast-growing clothing subscription business that has already served 15,000+ families. In August 2023, Lisa and her team acquired Dopple Inc., a kids’ clothing subscription service, recognizing its potential to become a broader financial support system for families. With a thriving subscription model and an expanding fintech platform, Dopple is proving the demand for a smarter way to fund family essentials. While the vision for Dopple has grown into a one-of-a-kind wishlist platform, its existing clothing subscription service gives us a strong foundation to build from. Early Gifting Platform Data Proves Market Demand Dopple’s beta results show high engagement and spending behavior, validating the platform’s market potential: Dopple is set for 333% YoY growth in 2025, reaching $3.2M revenue, driven by platform expansion and the upcoming launches of Dopple’s mobile app (Q3 2025) and Dopple Community Gifting (Q3 2025). These advancements will ensure sustainable growth, increased user engagement, and expanded funding opportunities, helping us reach our projected $50M+ revenue by 2028. Market: The Care Economy Is Growing Dopple sits at the intersection of three massive markets—care, gifting, and crowdfunding—bridging the gap between financial need and community support. The $648 billion care economy is growing rapidly, expected to reach $760 billion by 2030. Meanwhile, the $1.7 trillion U.S. year-round gifting industry remains outdated, directing money toward one-time purchases instead of meaningful financial support. Crowdfunding, a $1.6 billion market, has already proven the power of collective funding—Dopple is taking it further by turning everyday gifting into a sustainable financial safety net for families. Why Dopple Stands Apart Unlike traditional gift registries that focus solely on physical goods and rely on third-party payment processors, Dopple is an all-in-one gifting and funding platform. Unlike existing solutions, Dopple offers multiple funding sources, including fractional gifting, allowing friends, family, and community members to contribute small amounts toward larger expenses like childcare, healthcare, and education. Countering Inequity, Not Just Company Growth At Dopple, our mission has always been to help families fund the things that matter most. But now, we’re going even further. The income gap in this country is growing—and it’s not sustainable. Access to childcare, nourishing meals, and educational funds shouldn’t be luxuries. Every family deserves a real shot at stability and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their children’s needs are met. That’s why we’re launching the Dopple Community Fund—and putting real dollars behind it. 10% of all funds raised in this Wefunder round will go directly to support families in need. Because this isn’t just about raising capital. It’s about raising families up. How We Make Money Dopple operates a multi-channel revenue model, generating income from subscriptions, transaction fees, and affiliate partnerships. By monetizing both gifters and brand partners, Dopple ensures recurring revenue and long-term scalability, similar to platforms like Airbnb.

Average Order Value (AOV): $90 per bundle Gross Margin: 65%+ Projected Monthly Deliveries: 2,000+ by the end of 2025 Gift Transaction Fees: Dopple takes a 7% transaction fee per gift contribution regardless of the funding source. Product and Affiliate Commissions: Dopple earns affiliate revenue or drop ship revenue when users purchase from brand partners through the platform.
