Haarlem, September, 10th, 2021 - Present Your Startup Haarlem 2019 finalist Tickete - Digital Receipts & Personalized Rewards has good news to share. Their founder, Desirée Bos, did an interview with us
Tickete- Digital Receipts & Personalized Rewards challenges the traditional paper receipt. Tickete provides the market with an accessible, and generic solution to have receipts digitized to reduce the enormous impact on our planet. Did you know that a paper receipt is a chemical waste? If we assume that all households in the Netherlands receive three receipts per week, then that is more than one billion receipts per year and thousands of trees, liters of oil, and kilograms of waste. Besides that, receipts are just a hassle, they take space in the wallet, they fade, they are washed, or they even get lost.
Some initiatives can be seen in the market, where there are apps available that you can use to make pictures of your receipts, or retailers that send a receipt to your email address, or the newest invention, where retailers (supermarkets mainly at this point) request you to download their app so you can get your receipt. But as a consumer, who wants to keep several applications that are rarely used? With the consumer and retailer at heart, Tickete’s ambition is that their solution will work with all POS systems, and the first stones of that road are paved as they have created a network of internationally operating POS suppliers.
Like many entrepreneurs, Desirée Bos, founder of Tickete, and finalist in our accelerator program of Haarlem 2019 faced challenges, nonetheless, they did not stop her from moving forward and embracing everything that came along the way to get better. “We have encountered many challenges; we have even been at a breaking point. However, we took and are taking them on, one by one. We believe in our solution, and as the market is showing, it is becoming more ready than it ever was. We are super excited to scale at this time!”, said Desirée.

Desirée has a clear mindset of what was the next steps are going to be. Thanks to 5 investors from Kaasstad Kapitaal and Datiq, her company will receive an investment of 275.000 EUR i cash and software development services for the upcoming 2 years. “I’m feeling thrilled to start this new chapter and we couldn’t be happier with the shareholders and stakeholders that we have onboarded. All of them bring different expertise which will help our company scale and making digital receipts the new standard”, said Desirée.
