We’re humbled that The Evening Standard have covered Gener8 (pronounced Generate) as a “rising tech star” to “keep an eye on”.

It’s a positive indicator that we are heading in the right direction and that the ‘mainstream’ are starting to become more aware about the value of their data and take note of Gener8‘s model of empowering people and placing YOU at the heart of it. Having said that, it is worth remembering that all of you legends (our current users) are visionaries. You’re the change makers who are at the frontier of driving this movement. That’s why we try to remind you of this when you sign up with our welcome message:

…As we gain more awareness from the mainstream it will help us to create momentum and grow our users quicker – which in turn will enable us to be able to better reward you guys, our users! 🙂

So we’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who’s installed Gener8, given us feedback, invited friends, redeemed rewards and especially to those who haven’t redeemed rewards yet but are hanging in there for the journey and spreading the love.

If all of our current users invited 1 friend then overnight we’d be able to ramp up our advertising partnerships and get things cranking at scale for you.

So if you’d like to see Gener8 running at full tilt so that you can take back control over your data and the ads that you see please please please don’t complain about the lack of rewards, instead try inviting a friend to join us – that’s what moves us all forward.

And if you’re enjoying Gener8 and see any negativity or skepticism on social media please feel free to jump into the conversation and relay your positive experience as this makes a massive difference
